My name is Dana. I grew up with lots of cats, we had as many as 4 in the house at the same time. When I got married I had to leave my cat Ernie at home because my husband doesn't like cats.
This month I told my husband that I really wanted a cat and he said it was up to me! I flew to the Humane Society and adopted a 6 month old male black cat. He had been raised in a foster home with kids and dogs. Well, I have two kids and two dogs so he was perfect. He came with the name Toddy, but my daughters changed it to Zachary. He is a playful kitty, and he loves laps! He has a loud purr and even my husband thinks he's cool for a cat.
Well a cat person is never satisfied with one cat.
I decided Zach needed a playmate so I went back to Humane Society to get a kitten. I picked out a little gray female who was 3 months old, she hissed, spit at me, and scratched me so back in the cage she went. In the next cage was a black and white 1-2 year-old spayed female. She was sweet and a little shy. I fell in love with her instantly. She had been at the shelter for awhile waiting for a home. Guess who she came home with? The vet assigned her the name Josie when she was spayed. We decided to formally name her Josefina, but call her Josie for short. She's still being a little shy and does a lot of hiding under the bed, but she's slowly learning to trust me. And she's already taught the dogs whose boss!
I've had them less than a week and they have already brought me so much joy!
