How I met my first cat

I was driving going home when i see a vicious dog to the left of me and across the street I notice these two tiny black kitties. The dog was stalking them & began to cross the street. I knew I had to act fast so I quickly parked, jumped out of the car and grabbed both kitties. Im EXTREMELY allergic to cats but didn't care, I took them home. Im shocked I have yet to have an allergic reaction. I've never liked cats because of my allergic reaction to them, but I LOVE MY KITTIES NOW! They're so precious & beautiful, all black with green eyes! <3

How this cat wormed its way into my heart

They're babies! They are now my babies. I saved them from a vicious dog attack and or possibly starving to death. They were so helpless, I felt so much empathy & love as soon as I looked at their tiny faces. I felt so bad about them being alone, scared & lost away from their mother. I knew I could have a bad allergic as I have in the past to cats but I couldn't leave them & or drop them off at an animal shelter. Their little meows, their little eyes just melt me, pretty amazing for someone whose never cared for cats in her 40 years!!

  • Remember...cats too are God's creatures. They give you love right back!
