Precious, Callie and I have a similar story together. Hubby and I took years to get less awkward together. Me and my Callie it was instantly love at first sight.

Re: What caught your eye

If this response upsets you, I apologise in advance....

Back in the 1980's, my wife and I decided to adopt a kitten. It would, we decided, make our family complete.

We heard that the local police station were looking after a young cat that they had 'picked up', and when we saw this little black and white moggie looking very sheepish inside of a wire cage, we took it to heart. It was explained that the previous owner, the husband, had kicked this cat so hard, it had become lodged behind a radiator. The wife rang the police asking for help!!! The local bobby saw how distressed the cat was - and wrenched the radiator off the wall. The husband threatened to sue him for damages!!!

They also told us of another kitten they knew of that was desperately in need of a good home. The husband decided to get rid of a litter of unwanted kittens by flushing them down the toilet. His wife also rang the police for help - and just the last kitten was saved.

Those two kittens grew up with us. We loved them like nothing else. They lived long after the kids went to university, then left to start their own lives. For fourteen years, they gave us pure and unforgiving love.

Men? They can be absolute bar stewards when it comes to harmless animals...

Aw, those kittens were lucky to be loved and cared for by you.

(And sadly it is not just men that can be bar stewards in relation to animals…)

Aah, that's lovely Ania. I thought for a minute you'd got an Adonis tucked away over there.

How old was he when you found him?

He was about 3 years old when he came to me.

I was disillusioned with Adonis long ago , and anyway he wasn't a patch on my Bennie!

Mups I remember when they fist met, a rakish Irish Dog he was and he swept her off her feet. They were made for each other and I’m delighted they are so happy together, long may it continue.
