My son had been bugging me about about getting a kitty for awhile now. I picked him up one Friday for weekend visitations and he had a book clutched to his chest with a grin on his face. Turns out the book was titled: "For the love of Cats". He explained that we could look through the book together and decide on a kitty we 'might' want to get. He's eight years-old. Anyways that weekend we went to the Animal Humane Society and picked out our kitty. His name is Gandalf. So far he's been just a joy to have around.
