That happened to Merman, too! When we were first married we looked at a litter of kittens and this sweet little gray and white one came up to him and picked him out. That cat was devoted to my husband from day one. When we'd go out for walks in the neighborhood, she'd tag behind him. It was the funniest looking thing you ever saw.

We had a stray living on our property that used to follow us around the neighborhood for walks too. I would have kept him, minus the toads he brought me everyday on my front stoop

, but my cat Roobie wouldn't hear of it. I brought him for adoption at pet Smart and a newly married couple adopted him. They even kept his name Twinkie since it was so fitting, thought they said that he would be an indoor cat only.
