Five years ago today, right about this time, we were at the shelter falling in love with our two babies. Had not intended to come home that night with cats (we were still in the "window shopping" phase), but Swanie wrapped his little paws around my heart and that was all she wrote. Since we wanted to get two cats, and Swanie didn't have a friend with him, we spent a long time looking at the other cats with none of them being an obvious choice. Then one of the workers suggested we look at Cynthia. We had sort of overlooked her because she was sleeping in the back of her cage. Well, she was such a sweetie in the playroom, flopped over on her side, purred, and kneaded her paws so we said okay!
We had to buy one carrier and borrow another one to get them home. Cindy meowed all the way home. Swanie only meowed once - I think Cindy was getting on his nerves
Swanie was right at home immediately, unpacked his bags and went looking for dinner. Cindy was a harder sell, we spent many days and evening lying on the floor beside the bed talking to her, etc. Now, they're the best of friends and very happy kitties. Oh yeah - they're spoiled rotten kitties
