I never wanted a gray cat

I finally talked my husband into adopting a second cat to keep our 2-year-old orange male cat company. I always wanted a calico kitten, so I searched for one at the first rescue we went to. But I didn’t find one, so I talked my husband into going to Petsmart.

There, I spotted a cute calico in the back behind the cages. They let us go in the back, but the cute calico ran under a cabinet and wouldn’t come out. Discouraged, I started looking in all the cages, and a little gray kitten meowed loudly and really wanted out!

I opened the door and he eagerly came to me. I petted him and then put him down to run around as I looked at other kittens, as I really didn’t want a gray kitten. But this kitten was persistent and kept coming up and rubbing against my husband and me.

And that’s how I ended up with the most lovable gray kitten, even though I never wanted a gray kitten. He choose us!
