I was in Petsmart buying cat food last night, and I always stop at the cats up for adoption for a peek. In one cage there was a brother and sister, both orange, that had to be given up by a sick owner. The freaky part is that the one cat could have been Squirt, minus a few pounds, and the other was a DEAD RINGER for Joey. I have never seen a cat that looked exactly like him. He even had a little black 'crusty' in the corner of his eye like Joey gets all the time. Fortunately, there was an adoption pending on the pair, or I might have ended up with twins.

Each time I go to Petsmart I check the cats for adoption. I shouldn't as I too want to take them all home. Other day I found 4 that were half Oriental shorthair and half Maine coon! Breeder owned both Mom and Dad and they got together by accident. These kittens were about 4 months and SOooooo playful and full of the DEVIL! I dearly wanted to adopt one of them for my Benji to play with BUT since I already have 4 cats I did not dare. Poor Ben and Pooor me! :-( I just gotta win the lottery and move to a bigger place! LOL!

I had that happen not to long ago myself! I saw a cat that looked JUST like JELLIE went back the next day but the little dear had blessedly been adopted.

That must have been so strange!! Nice though!

I too would leave your details with them, just in case the adoption falls through!! But then you would have to try to remember which cat was which!!

i have such a weakness for homeless kitties, it breaks my heart everytime i visit the shelter. i try to avoid going but then i can't help myself, and always end up leaving depressed. Let's hope those kitties find a good home with loving parents.
