We went to our local shelter to look for a kitten for our daughter, and this big, handsome, 14-pound guy walked right up to me and flopped at my feet, with the loudest purrs. It was love at first sight. His family had dropped him off when they moved out of the area. I had no idea how long he had been there, but as a 7-year-old black male cat, I knew his chances of being adopted were slim. Luckily for us, he decided to adopt me, and we brought him and a kitten home that day. Buddy is the most wonderful cat I've ever had, and is friends with everyone in our house, human and feline alike. We can't imagine our family without him.
