Vowel Lady, I agree that mrsD's post said it all! When a cat adopts you, that's it!!

I made my family unwitting cat lovers when I brought a kitten home at the age of 6. My parents said "no way!" I lied and said the people I got her from had gone away on vacation.
.
Then it became "one more day" -- and it turned into 18 years (with other cats joining our family along the way).

Congratulations on your new addition!
