How very, very true.

The little horrors grow on you bit by bit by bit . . .

That's what my little bruiser Ferdy's done.

I can't help but admire how this "stray cat law maker" sticks to her guns. My mother had a rule, "She can stay long enough to have something to eat, and then she has to leave." She left, all right, about 10 years later when she went to kitty heaven. We knew if Mom thought anything was hungry it was a shoo in for a new home!

I love this.

My Grandparents took in tons of strays
over the years. They couldn't have
wandered to a better home, they
were fed, got all their shots taken care of,
taken to the vet for check ups and when they
were sick, fixed,
allowed in the house(when they decided
they wanted to) and loved.

My Grandpa passed away 2 years ago
but my Grandma still buys 5-6 big
bags of cat food every month or so
to go in the 3 food
dishes outside for new strays and the
2 food dishes in her kitchen.
