Cat sitting for our daughter.

The dogs have been really good. They've seen her before and even though upon her arrival there is a lot of excitement (and growling and spitting on the part of the cat lol ) things settle down pretty quick. The cat pretty much stays upstairs but will venture down when its mealtime and she thinks she's getting forgotten! lol She is 16 years old and a cat my daughter and I got at a shelter. That visit is one I will always remember fondly. We had a 'family cat' that my daughter loved. When she was moving out after college and wanted to take the cat, I told her, that cat is
mine!

He is the family cat and I love and want him. You, my child, will get your OWN cat. And I took her to the shelter where we spent many hours. No lie. Hours. I said, this is the way to do it. You sit, you play, you touch, you
observe! The cat that is right for you will show its face, if you watch.
We sat in a small room and brought in kitten after kitten. I watched how they liked to be picked up, touched, responded. Of course, we both picked a few favorites....usually by color!

After a time, my observation was drawing to this little gray fluff. Her coloring seemed nothing special and wasn't my first choice at all for looks. (of course, she's grown into a gorgeous lady!) But I'll never forget the moment when I said, "I think this is the one for you." She was confident, brave, allowed us to pick her up and best of all, stayed on your lap on her own. She liked people. She was content and had a great personality. She had it all and turned out to be the
best cat for our daughter........and then her future husband.........and then future twins! That cat puts up with anything thrown her way and can hold her own, even against a Doberman! lol!!
