6. so true Walleye!

No one would have adopted a cringing cat in a corner but me. I could not get his face out of my mind and I went back and got him.

He is a real treasure. He never does a thing to make me angry. If you tell him NO, he stops. He also keeps kitten Nialls in check as well. He is still doing his job.

As for adoption, who else but me would have adopted a cat with huge hidden mats on him? Many would have returned him.

I'm very glad I have him, believe me!

Thanks for the positive words. I was so tired yesterday after moving all of that cat litter around. I got a deal on it, that is why so much all at once. Seems I'm set for awhile now however!
