One of the leaders in our quilt guild - Donna, loves to make
kitty blankets for one of the area Cat rescue shelters. Donna is so sweet, she thinks every kitty
should have their very own cuddle blanket – so she schedules a sew day for the
guild to whip up some cuddlers for these orphans. Since my
granddaughter Amber volunteers to clean litter boxes (yuk!) and love on the
kitties at a local pet shop, I asked if she wanted to join the Kitty Blanket
sew day. She’s all over it! Wouldn’t it be nice to get this much enthusiasm
over yard work? Hmm, I digress. The golden ticket for Amber was after the sew
day, we get to drop the blankets off at the rescue shelter and she could
snuggle with the kitties. Now I’m not
totally daft, I laid the ground work before we left the house…….If I said it once,
I said it numerous times - You cannot have another cat, your dad will have a
meltdown, you cannot have a cat at my house, I am allergic. We are donating
blankets, you can have snuggle time, but we are leaving without a cat.
So, I think everyone reading
this knows where I’m going…….about 15 minutes into the visit, Amber notices a
mixed adult male Maine Coone cat and immediately starts hyper ventilating.
Amber: OH GRANDMA – this is the very cat Sam (my 26
yr old man-child) has been looking for!
Me: Wha-what?
Before I can finish
what I’m saying, she’s firing off texts and sending pics to Sam. Not a minute later my phone is blowing up,
Sam (beyond excited) wants details about the cat. oooh. Before I knew what hit me, I was stopping at
the store for cat food and allergy pills.
