Minou
Minou
is our resident cat. We've never had
a cat before and we were certain we
were not actually cat people. One
day a friend of ours called to say
that there were some abandoned
kittens at the end of his road,
could we come and help. What we
didn't know when we agreed was that
if we caught any they would end up
at our house. So off we went and
came home with 2 soggy, skinny,
scrawny, flea ridden, starving
kitties of about 8 weeks old. We
promptly fixed them up, fed them,
took them to the vet etc. Now weeks
later, we decide when we have these
two little kittens using our house
as a speedway, perhaps we aren't cat
people afterall. We were going away,
taking all the dogs with us....what
about the kittens. So we decided to
place them with the cat lady who has
a no kill shelter and adopts them
out through her home and PetSmart.
Needless to say we were in tears
when we handed them over but it was
best for the kitties and us.
Jumping ahead 2 1/2 months later, we
went to PetSmart to buy our wild
bird seed like we always do. We
always look at the cats and kittens
wishing we were cat people but
keeping in mind we aren't....we
start moving along the line of cat
cubicles and suddenly Kristi stops
and stares.
She has spotted one of our kittens,
Minou. Sabrina the other one had
already been adopted. We are
instantly in tears....the cat lady
says...."What's wrong".....we
say...."That's our Minou". And so
the story ends.....we bought her
back that day and home we went. She
is the best cat....plays with the
dogs, puppies and is a true clown.
Who'd have thought we've turned into
cat people. We had even thought of
bringing her with us to the
specialties. Time will tell!!!!!!
