I adopted Luna from a shelter in the town where I live. I went in to see another cat, who wouldn't give me the time of day, so instead I sat down in the room to see what the other cats would do. Luna jumped up into my lap and made herself comfortable. As I had never had a cat before (only dogs growing up) I was unsure and definitely wasn't ready to commit. When I came back two days later, the performance repeated itself. When I sat down, she jumped into my lap and started to purr. I came back a third time, to make sure my roommate had a say in the animal I brought home, and again she jumped into my lap and laid down. We took her into a private room to get to know her better and found she was as playful as she was loving. I had been doubting whether I should actually go through with it, but when they came in to ask me about paperwork I didn't even think. I said "Yes," filled out the sheet, and never looked back. Luna's been with me for nine months now and she's the best thing that ever happened to me. She senses when I'm upset and comes and settles into my lap to purr like she did at the shelter. In the mornings when I wake up, she's always right there, purring and rubbing against my face and showing me how happy she is I'm awake again. I don't know what I would do without her. I'm a happier person because I have my Lil'Lady. I'm glad she adopted me, and I had sense enough to sign the papers to confirm it.
