Katie
updated: Apr 09, 2011, 9:00 AM
This is my cat Katie and her story. And like most stories do, this one begins on a dark and stormy night in Oregon. I was reading in the living room, when I happened to look out the picture window and spotted a tiny, scrawny, black and white kitten with a crooked tail, her paws pressed against the glass. I didn't know where she had come from, and I felt horrible that she was soaking wet. But we had other cats in the home already, and I couldn't let her in. So, I ignored as best I could and forgot about her for that night. But she stayed on, and the next morning it appeared she hadn't budged from her spot. This pattern continued for about a week before the guilt finally got to me. One evening, before my husband returned from work, I took matters into my own hands, ushered her inside, and let her feed before casting her back to the porch. For the next seven days, I secretly let her in to eat dinner. Until one day, my husband stated that he had a confession. Seeing her sweet, little masked face every morning, he was wracked with guilt, and had begun letting her into the house to eat breakfast with him after I had left for work! And thus, Katie, ever the charmer, adopted our family, and stole our hearts.

All us cat lovers laugh in understanding. They know who will adore them, and they pick us, and persists until we give in.
