I too grew up around cats all my life. They are such neat creatures. I got my first fur baby, when my husband and I went thru the "7 year itch". He knew that I loved cats, but he was a dog person. I got her from my supervisor's friend. I had to drive up to where she lived which was over an hour from where I lived. she had already named the kitten, but my the time I got home I couldn't remember her name. All I could remember that it was something "oda". So I named her Rhoda (I'm named after her). I later remembered that they had named her Yoda but didn't change her name. She has other alisas, Sweet Pea, Darling, Sweetie. She's now 16 1/2. I didn't think that I was going to get any other kitties until I lost Rhoda since she's so old. One of my friends was feeding a feral cat that had kittens. She trapped two of the kittens. The first one she kept. She wanted to trap some of the other kittens, so she caught the second one. She played upon my heart by telling me that she was going to take it to the pound. I couldn't bear that news. So I immediately had him fixed, and a check up to make sure that he was in good health to introduce him to Rhoda. I named him Rudey because he was rude to invade Rhoda's territory. She's gotten to where she tolerates him. I've seen him chase Rhoda about three times. Rhoda doesn't want me to see them getting along because she wants to play on my sympathy.
