When two of his beloved cats died and left an ancient third alone, my adult son thought Figaro might be lonesome. He went to Petsmart where local shelters have regular adoption offerings . He saw a small, scared-looking and very homely cat in the back corner. However, he decided to wait to adopt.
TWO WEEKS later, he went back and when he bent down by the cages, a fluffy long-hair rushed up, purred, flounced around, and played with his hand--he decided to take her. Then he saw after this length of time, the homely one was STILL there. He knew after that length of time, she would never be adopted, so naturally, he took them both! The strange little dumpster kitty became Sweet Pea, and little fluffy is Susan. The tomboy and the cheerleader have brightened his life ever since. Reminds us all that just because they are not pretty, or a kitten, they can make us happy.
