Oh I know, I always had cats growing up and my parents were just adopted by a new cat a couple of months ago. It just showed up one day and it's been there ever since.
Alley picked me about nine years ago and she had me the moment I saw her. Now she runs the house but she is nice enough to let me and my wife live here and pay all of the bills and buy all of the food. She really is giving.
