This
is Montanna, he was six months old in this picture. I didn't
set out to get a cat the day we got Montanna. I had about an hour to
kill and I was by our local SPCA, and just dropped in to see the
kitties.. As soon as I walked in the door... out flew this paw...
waggin' and wavin' at me... then all this talkin'.. I went over to see
him and he did back flips, turned upside down, inside out - just
incredible antics to get my attention. As I looked at the other
cats, I could see he had his eye on me, even though there were four other
people in the room. It was my attention he sought - I broke down and
just had to hold him. He cuddled right up against my neck and
started purring, and licking my chin, well, my heart was melted.
But I really wasn't looking for another cat,and the cut off time for
adoption had now passed. When I went to put him back, he just wouldn't
let go. Finally I had to leave, I could almost see the
disappointment in his brown eyes, (he had brown eyes at first). When I
was leaving I decided to put a hold on him until the next day.
All I could think about all night was that face, what would happen to
him if I didn't take him. My husband wasn't at all excited about
getting another cat, "two cats - all that extra work, what if they
don't get along..." It was left up to me to decide, so I jumped in
the car and went and got him. Our other cat at the time (Shelby)
wasn't too keen on her new little brother, but after a few years,
eventually they did get along.
Montanna, now twelve, is the most gentle loving guy, even to his two
siblings Otis
and Sophie.
Montanna's personality is of a gentle giant (he weighs twenty
pounds) and he is my very best friend. He still hasn't stopped talking,
and my husband now says "Three Cats!"... a true cat person deep down.
