  1. First thing anyone having a cat had better understand is this: You don't pick out a cat, a cat chooses YOU.

    When my wife and I went down to the Milwaukee Humane Society Shelter to get a cat, due our previous cats having passed due to illness, we looked at a LOT of cats.
    But when I leaned over to see one cat, it leaned forward,nuzzled the side of my nose (and sneezed!), and that was that, a cat had adopted us.

    Now, while filling out the paperwork, she (the cat) was VERY vocal, you could hear her through half the area, "You're NOT leaving WITHOUT ME?"

    I offered to hold the cat while the paperwork was done, but the volunteer would have none of that, commenting, "I've never see a cat do that before." Doesn't know cats, for sure.

    Our cat settled in the first night, finding the food bowl, water bowl, and litter box, and the next night decided to present my wife and I with a freshly caught mouse at 2 AM.

    Yep, we got a cat, alright. And a cat has us, too.
