   My cat, Stanley, means more to me than anything. :> I even saw him being born. He was SO tiny! He was born in a litter from one of my best friend's cats, and once I saw him for the first time, I fell in love with him. I wanted him to be my kitten so badly. Every day, I would go over to her house, and spend time with him -- and only him. He was the first of the litter to start weaning, thanks to my help, and also the first to explore the outskirts of the bed-basket where he was born. My parents despised cats at that time, and wouldn't even think about letting me keep him as a pet.

    Well, I took my allowance, saved up, and without them knowing, I bought Stanley cat food, cat litter, and a litter box -- as well as food dish, and a toy. After much persuasion, they agreed to let me keep him -- although they didn't want to have anything to do with him. And within months, they fell in love with him, too! Even now, with a house full of two dogs, another cat, and two birds -- the family adores my cat the most. He's the cutest, sweetest, most loveable animal in the world. :> I wouldn't give him up for anything. He means so much to me. Whenever I'm upset, he'll hop on my bed and cuddle with me. He wakes me up every morning. He's the perfect cat. :>
