I was devastated after losing two of my cats exactly one month apart. About a month later, Mom & Dad suggested that we bring a bunch of supplies to the shelter. I really didn’t want to, but I knew the shelter desperately needed the supplies. We loaded up and went. After unloading, we visited all the animals. We entered a huge enclosure where the young adult cats were housed. Dad and I sat on the floor as Mom observed. The cats took their turns being loved on. When they had enough, they just walked away. The whole time, a dainty buff & white, sat off to the side, just watching. When all the other cats had their turn, she came over, climbed on my lap, flipped over upside down and just gazed at me. All I remember is Mom saying “I think you’ve been adopted.”
Not only did my sweet Samantha help herself to my lap, she helped herself to my heart.
