Greetings to my fellow bloggers!

I say this often, but I’ll say it once again…I don’t like to post unless I am moved by something or really have something to say. It’s too difficult to force a post, just to post. Well, I was just having a conversation with someone about how I met my sweet Cino. My story literally ends with “You had me at meow!”

After days of searching for a cat on a local shelter’s website, I found one that I wanted to go meet. Her name was Muffy. When she was brought into the visitor’s room so we could meet and I could spend a little time with her, she seemed very nervous…understandably. She just walked around looking up and didn’t pay any attention to me. I started to doubt if she was the right cat for me. They brought her back to her…I hate this word…cage. The shelter employee started showing me other cats in that room but while she was talking to me, I kept my eye on Muffy. Muffy seemed to be starting to pay some attention to me by coming close to the edge of the cage and looking out while we were talking. After visiting with a few other cats, I said I wanted to visit with Muffy one more time. In the visitor’s room she started to repeat the same behavior as before…looking up and pacing. But then suddenly she stopped…looked right at me…and MEOWED. That was it! I looked back at her and said “OK, that’s it, you’re coming home with me!”

I share the full story in a blog post from 9 years ago. Here is a link to that post: https://animalsarefeelingbeingstoo.com/2016/09/13/thisA -weeks-tuesday-tale/

I changed her name to Cino. She is now 17 years old and still as sweet as can be!
