In 2005 I lost two dogs and two cats in a period of six weeks. Grief stricken I decided that there would be NO MORE PETS. However, my nephew and his wife shot me through the grease - declaring they would HAVE to euthanize their new cat because they just couldn't handle a new baby and a new cat. I took her and renamed her Pepe LePew. Soon she was joined by a feral kitten named Opie. Pepe WAS NOT amused - she liked being an only child. The problem was solved however this Halloween when a grey kitten, Groucho, appeared at the door, walked in and said, "This will do." He and Opie are best buddies and participate in World Federation Cat Wrestling and NASCAR cats to their heart's content and Pepe can rest on her dignified laurels.
I think this officially makes me a 'cat lady.'
