Sparkle Dawn adopted her cat, Sparkle, from the Humane Society. Most cats when brought into a new house will cautiously pad about their new territory, checking out every space from under the beds to inside the closets. Sparkle zoomed through the living room, into the kitchen, and plopped her nose into a food dish. She must have felt right at home! When not eating, Sparkle enjoys being held and playing with toy mice. |
| Oscar Our Maine Coon cat, Oscar, adopted us! One of the neighbors invited a friend to live with them as a long-staying house guest, and the friend brought her dog (big dog). Oscar hates dogs and refused to go near his home. Instead, he parked himself on our porch, perched himself on the railing in front of our kitchen window, and followed us whenever we were outside. We fell in love. But we couldn't take Oscar away from his true home . . . not without asking. And who would want to give away such a beautiful, friendly, well-mannered cat? But I loved Oscar, and he obviously cared for us. So I told the neighbor that I would adopt Oscar if for any reason they didn't want him. The neighbor heaved a sigh of relief . . . they were moving! They didn't want to take their cat. Oscar now lives in our house, and he and Sparkle are good friends. Like a herd of charging rhinoceros, they run through the house playing tag, then flop into a furry heap for a nap. |
