It's been said that people that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.
Mama cat chose to adopt me
I guess I would have been called the cat lady back in the day because I once owned 14 of them at one time. They were not in my house but lived outside. Over a period of time I would say I probably owned at least 24 cats. My story today took place when I was 14 years old so I have no original pictures. The cover photo, however, is an almost exact replica of my "Mama cat," If you have read any of my recent pet stories then part of this tale will be familiar.

Cats are the perfect pet. They are soft and cuddly, friendly for the most part and have been comfort during emotional times. My sisters and I grew up with cats from a young age, and my parents even now, still have 2 cats that we have had since birth.

Charles, and the seagull. Hull, where the people who adopted Charles lived, has a population of feral Seagulls, these large birds have seldom seen the sea, most live near refuse tips, or near the docks. Once in a while, one makes its way inland to see what it can scrounge in the city.

Cleo and Cricket
I was living in a place I didn’t want to be, but at the time I didn’t have a choice. I was 16, and deeply depressed. My at home life, well let’s just say it wasn’t good because that is a WHOLE other story. The short version is my mother, brother and I moved into her fiancée’s house with his mother in a very tiny house and they had a very feral cat living there called Wilhelmina. She hated everything, wouldn’t let us near her and pretty much wanted to stay in the wall, so well left her alone.

I just want to start by saying I love all animals no matter how big or small, how bald or fuzzy, dog, cat, rabbit, bird, fish, etc. All are open to the warm embrace of the Queen of Cats. Where I live, I am known as the crazy cat lady at the end of the trailer park. More than a dozen of them come to my porch for shelter, food, and attention. I readily provide that and then some. I give out more than 50 lbs of kitty kibble a month, several dozen gallons of water, and thousands of kisses and head pats, all in a safe, judgment-free zone. Life is good.

One woman's unwanted pet was my family
I had just left a relationship and moved into a new apartment with my two girls. We were starting fresh. We had adopted cats before to be a part of our family but it never seemed to work out. Whether I had to give them away due to financial problems, boyfriends being allergic or they ran away. When the girls started asking for another kitty, I was apprehensive. I hadn't had the best track record but eventually, I caved in. I missed having the company and the cuddles. I'd always had a cat part of my life.

My Lucy
"Oh, please, come here sweet kitty!" I called to the tiny Calico stray in the big bush next to our desert apartment in Barstow, California. She was absolutely beautiful and so feisty! I reached into the plastic baggie of cut up steak I'd snuck off of my dinner plate and tried to lure her out. My face was getting scratched with the branches from the bush. My arms were bleeding, I didn't care. I would save this little baby.

Cleopatra
As I drove up to the red light along with other traffic I realized things were not as they should be. I had 3 cars in front of me in my lane stopped at the light and the traffic turning left into our lane ahead was stopped mid-way. A man got out of the car and ran around just as a tiny thing jumped from the side window to the ground. It darted into the waiting cars and up under the back tire rim of the 2nd car in line to turn left from beside me. Everyone piled out of their cars and tried to catch it and one lady managed to hold one tiny leg of it so it could not go further in under the car. The first man who had lost the animal threw his hands up at it and stormed off in anger, shaking his head and got in his car and drove off. He had clearly given up on retrieving it and did not care to try.

Purrcival: The Unlikely Supurrhero
All my animals are rescues. From the turtle rescues that I have to my three dogs, my parrot, and the others that came well before them. All of them found their way to me and needed me. What I did not know was the one that I needed would find me.

Two Strays and One Life Changing Event.
To preface this story, everything I write is true. I would not believe it had it not of happened to my family. In 2011, after the floods that devastated Brisbane, Australia, many animals were displaced or put up for adoption. A few months prior to this, our family cat Sandy had passed away and we had been thinking it was time to adopt a cat again.
