How many visits did you make before adopting?

My First Cat's Name, Age at Adoption, and Oldest Age

my first cat was called Pepper, she was the daughter of my brothers cat Penny.

The Mutual Bond I Shared With my Cat

Pepper was my best friend, she would sit on the wall in the front garden waiting for me to come home from school, she was beautiful in every way. She slept in my bed every night, she would lick me and curl up to me if i was upset. We had an amazing bond, i was heart broken when she went.

Significant Benefits of our Relationship

i was never alone at night and i always had her to play with, if i wasn't aloud outside from being naughty hehe she made me laugh everyday.

Why I'd Do It All Over Again
