I live in So CA and we have one cat, our girl Izzy. She has been with us for one year this month.
Prior to adopting her I would have NEVER said I was a cat person. Nope. My mom had a rather mean cat who would hiss and chase you when you walked in the door. Anyway, I was out w/a friend one day on my lunch hour and she said oh I have to run into Petsmart really quick. That is when I spotted her. 4 days later she was ours. Can you believe it? She has been a blessing for my son and I and completely changed our lives. I would love another but when we adopted her, we were told she needs to be the only cat in the home.
Anyway, glad to have found this forum.
