Today is My Gotcha Day!

Today is My Gotcha Day!
~~~~~
My Lap Lady found me under a bush in front of her office when I was only about 6 months old. I was mewing like crazy so she picked me up and brought me into her office. Since it was February, it was very cold outside and I was practically freezing. My Lap Lady put her black sweater into a box top and settled me into it. That was after I ran like crazy around the office - it was warm but I didn't know where I was. Anyway, she settled me into the box top with her sweater and while purring happily, I fell asleep.
~~~~~
While I was asleep she drove home, which was close, to get the PTU to take me to her house. After work was over, she put me into the PTU with her sweater. I was nervous and started mewing again. When we got home, I met Samantha, a gray and white cat who hissed at me.

My Lap Lady put up signs by her office to see if anyone had lost a ginger tabby kitten. She really hoped that no one would call because she already loved me. When my Lap Lady was just a kid her first cat was a ginger tabby named Charlie. I liked it at my Lap Lady's house, except that Samantha didn't really like me too much. She eventually tolerated me although she would never let me cuddle with her at all.

Well, no one called to claim me so I was in my Forever Home with my Lap Lady, my Big Janitor and Samantha! I will be 13 this August so I have been here for a long time! After Samantha went to the Bridge in 1990, my Big Janitor told my Lap Lady that I needed a kitten. Even though Samantha always hissed at me a bit, I still missed her. My Lap Lady went to the Humane Society to pick up Samantha's ashes and she had to go look at the cats and kittens.

May 1st was my lucky day because that's when my Lap Lady found Willow. She was just a few month's old and my Lap Lady brought her to her Forever Home that day. Willow lets me snuggle with her and wash her head and I believe she thinks that I am her mother! Which is fine with me - I sure do love her!
~~~~~
The funniest part is that today, my Gotcha Day, is also Willow's Birthday! She is 6 years old today and we are going to celebrate tonight! I think that there will be some Fancy Feast involved!!! Until then I am going to snooze away on my Super Bowl Football Pillow!
