Pets: Have any?

I love most animals, but think children are small manifestations of evil. i even think babies are ugly and smell funky.

There. I said it.

I have two cats, Sammie & Joey. (Now all I need is a Frankie & Dean, lol.)

Both are shelter babies. Sammie was 10 months old when I got her. She's twenty YEARS old now, and still going strong. Joey was 4 months, and deathly ill. He's seven years now, and approximately the size of a small pony. He's the sweetest baby, though. He's a mama's boy, lol. My poophead ex never saw him, and honestly thought I was making Joey up (what kind of weirdo owns an imaginary cat?)...until the day he went from being lousy at a certain indoor activity to downright annoying. For the rest of my life, I will treasure the memory of the look on Poophead's face when 12 pounds of not-declawed "imaginary" mama's boy leaped onto his bare booty and started to rumble, lol. Good boy!

Isn't it amazing how some animals, once there is physical contact, are bonded with you for life? The organizations which bring many varieties of pets out for people to see at different locations have no mercy for the softhearted! As I mentioned, I never purchased any cat--all were surplus, preowned and/or abandoned kittens or adults. My present (abandoned and neglected but still trusting) cat wants to be near everyone. Once someone holds her, she purrs nonstop. Her attention has helped my transition, keeps me from feeling alone, and my friends enjoy her as well. (When I offer to remove her, everyone says, "Let her stay," and even some cat hair on nice clothes doesn't matter!)

You shop at Ross, too? Great! They are unpredictible so far as what/when really great stuff is available, but well worth regular visits. I bought an attractive argyle sweater off the clearance rack about two years ago. Argyle sweaters are popular now, and it amuses me to be so very fashionable in my (to me) not so new any more sweater! I've found many attractive items (including the dress I wore to my late husband's memorial) for very reasonable prices at Ross over the years, but I must admit, never a pet. You truly found The Superior Bargain! And, your kitty won't take off because of taller height, a higher income, a cooler car, or other superficial details!

*wub*

what's her name?
