The best pets are the ones that adopt you.
Sylvie promises to be a best pet. She was sitting in the second cat room at the shelter eyeing the door. There was no doubt she wanted to go home, and she wanted me to take her there. She adopted me. I could not leave the shelter without her.
Before we left the shelter with her, Marsha Waunch suggested we keep her in a separate room until she adjusted to our house and us. She would have none of that. She wanted out to join in whatever else was going on, and she has been joining in ever since. She meets all criteria I have for a cat. She is curious, friendly, playful, funny, and loves the outdoors.
Because I like to garden, a mostly solitary occupation, I want company when I am out tending the plants. So does Sylvie, so it is a perfect match. She stalks, hunts, chases, and naps outdoors. When I go to the door in my gardening clothes, she is right there. If I forget her, she lets everyone in the house know that she has been abandoned. We look forward to a long and fruitful time in the garden together. – Midge Kraetzer
