13.Oct.2007 -- At PetsMart, the volunteer had asked for 2 references to speak to before they could let me take home this cat. First reference was old friend, Jasmin. The other, the mum of kids I babysat, Sara.
It felt very serious -- I was worried about what could have been said about me... When the volunteer got off the phone, she returned to us and relayed that one of my references said: "This cat is going to be the luckiest cat in the world."
Fluffy was brought home in a brand new cage, that afternoon. He made a few meows on the ride home. What a lovely sound. We were feeling so happy to be finally bringing home a cat. OUR CAT!
When he got home, Fluffy immediately sought out a hiding place: the heater in the kitchen; or with the shoes (how dirty). It was then that I realised: This cat has gorgeous blue eyes, like the Ragdoll he is...
We finally dragged him out of the shoes and placed him on the sofa. Smart-thinking husband created a "cushion cave". Fluffy remained so still on the sofa under this cushion protection.
We turned on the radio, made sure Fluffy was comfortable, and left the house to buy food and toys for our brand new cat.
What a birthday treat.
Beautiful history!!!!
