This is my marriage and all my friends marriages to a tee.

(The dog was just itching to go chase those cows across the road, so she had to be firmly tethered.) When we wanted both of them to be inside, one had to go to jail. The dog's jail was Daughter's bedroom or the cat was locked into the laundry room.

Before me DH was a lifelong strictly dog person, I can take credit for is new found love. He loves, loves, loves his 3 kit cats. When I tell his family how much he loves his cats they look at me like I am half crazy. Lol!! They cannot fathom that DD can really love a cat.

This is the second time I read this thread. The first time I called a friend with an animal rescue and read it to her. We laughed and laughed. This time it seemed even funnier. I love this quilting forum because it's like visiting with a bunch of friends. I find myself with about 16 cats right now but need to find good adoptive families for about 10 of them. I took 2 moms having kittens to save their lives and a litter the people were moving and going to throw the kittens out into the trailer park, "someone will feed them." They were 3 months old and the baby only weighed 18 ounces. They are all healthy and well and I love them all so much but I am getting old and need to find them younger families. I am alone and have enjoyed your pet stories so much. And the 'weird' fabric post was a hoot also. Thank you for your friendship.

Thank you ByThePiece for your kind heart. I am a rescue pet person too. No store bought pets for us.
I live in a area where stray cats seem to show up. When one shows up I entice it on my screen porch, put in carrier and then take to vet to be spayed or neutered. If it stays around then at least no babies. I keep cat food out every day year round. DH says I'm feeding the raccoons but that's okay too.

When I was a kid we had a cat that had kittens, and my grandmother found a stray mom-cat with kittens in her trailer park that were about the same age and brought her to us to take care of. My mom was mad, but my sister and I were thrilled! Our cat had seven kittens, the stray had four more, so we had 11 kittens! Both mom-cats were black, and they didn't seem to care whose kittens were whose and raised them all together. So cute. All these black and white kittens, except three orange tabbies.
We found homes for all of them, despite my sister & I pleading to keep them all!
