Our first cat was Puff, a longhaired white kitten. Asa loved that kitten so much, and we took her everywhere with us on a little leash. On weekends, we would go to Foster Freeze and Asa would buy Puff her own little vanilla frosty cone and hold if for her while she enjoyed a few licks. (Little did I know then that many decades later I'd be celebrating white cats during Valentines' Day month!)

Quickly fast-forwarding: After graduating from high school and two years of college, we married and moved into our first rented home. It was a cottage, really, no larger than about 400 square feet, but we both knew there was plenty of room for a cat.
