   My name is Boo and I'm a cat, a black cat, pure black with gold eyes. I think I'm about one year old. One day late last summer, I woke up to discover myself at this Bible camp with a whole lot of people and a few cats. I figured that this wasn't going to be such a bad place to live. So I started to make friends, then I heard the Lady that was in charge of the place saying that she was going to call the pound, and have me removed. Well, you know what that means - puddy cat heaven. Well time to look for a sucker to take me home. I tried a lot of people but they weren't interested in a adult cat. Well, I was out in the parking lot when I spotted this guy doing some maintenance work on one of the buildings. You know, he looked simple enough, so I approached him and he picked me up. Now I had to put on my best act. I purred like you would never believe, I smooch him, I marked him, I - well you know the routine. I thought "I've got this guy in my pocket" (figuratively speaking). All of a sudden this guy goes home and leaves me. I figured that's that. Next day he comes back, picks me up and says I can come home with him but his wife is afraid of cats, and I would have to be an outside cat. Well I purred up to her a couple of times and she weakened a wee bit. It wasn't till it rained the first time, I stood out side the patio door soaking wet, meowing very pitifully. Well, that broke her down, inside at last. At first, only the guy's workshop. Then the hallway. Now it's everywhere but the bedroom and that's next. If government was left to us cats, what a wonderful word it would be to live in.
