Sadly, we lost a cat in February (Schitzy). As the weeks went on, we realized that with only fish and a feral rescue, who won't let you pet her, that our family was in need of a new pet. The hunt was on - lots of research into hairless felines (I think they are cute). Definitely focused on a cat, not a dog in hopes that Moochy (the feral) would settle in and accept the new pal.
Searching online one night, I came across the cutest face and I knew! The next day, I begged Dan to stop by the shelter - and after about 10 minutes, I made him bring the kids in. Needless to say, we adopted "Fabio" from the Homeward Pet Adoption Center in Woodinville and have since renamed him "Patches."
He's a great cat - loves having our yard and surrounding woods to explore. The girls simply adore him and he's settled in, taking ownership of our house. The only one not happy about the arrangement is Moochy - she is not impressed. Well, maybe he'll get through to her yet - meanwhile, we're a dual cat-zone household.
