cats

In 2000, as a gift for my then girlfriend, I adopted a cat from a shelter, We ended up splitting up, but I kept the cat, because since the day we got her, I bonded with her and subsequently did a lot of reading about cats and cat behavior. I unwittingly got into shelter work and on my own took in and placed over 50 cats. For a while I had 9 of my own! I had 8 when I met Julie, and she had one herself. Now we just have 2; Julie's cat, Bliss, and Stumpy, who is the only one left from my gang. For a guy who didn't have children, I was extremely close to my critters. I've been through quite a few difficult goodbyes in the last 6 years. We're letting Bliss and Stumpy live out their lives before we consider possibly rescuing 2 more.
