- I got my 15 year old tuxedo cat Vera in the same way as other
- tuxedo-owned people, evidently. In the shelter was a huge cage of
- kittens. All the other kittens were merrily playing and being cute,
- but Vera was clinging to the mesh wire, half-way up, swiping at people
- as they walked by. She wasn't actually my favorite kitten of the
- bunch, but I reasoned that any cat that wanted to get out of a cage so
- badly deserved to get out.
-
- My ten year old Sting was a pregnant stray brought home by my neice
- after a friend's mother threw the cat out. My neice was playing
- emotion games with her father, who doesn't much care for cats, and her
- new step-mother, who adores them. At this point, my brother and
- sister-in-law took off for Australia. I was mid-wife and my heart was
- gone. Upon return, my brother was actually going to have Sting put to
- sleep, as they had found homes for all the kittens, so I took her.
-
- Both of them came from Boston, all the way to Toronto with me.
