[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 380508, member: 3444"] I never used to like cats. Growing up I had a dog and various other critters, but due to my brother's severe allergy, cats were off the list. Then I met husband and he adopted a bunch of strays when we first got married. We kept two from a feral cat's litter that were born on our porch. They grew on me. A few years after we moved to this house, we lost them both to coyotes, the last one when difficult child 1 was a toddler. Fast forward several years and we adopted a kitten from a shelter when easy child was 5. Then a year later, we took in another kitten that an acquaintence couldn't keep. That kitty Harley has morphed into my shadow. He follows me [U]everywhere[/U]. And yesterday, when I was recovering from my colonoscopy, he laid by my side the entire day. husband would call him to come downstairs but he wouldn't budge from his spot next to me while I was sleeping all afternoon. He greets me in the morning. He follows me downstairs and "talks" to me. He greets me at the door when I come home, "talking" to me all the while. He's not my cat, I'm his human! :bigsmile: [/QUOTE]
