Last week in Days of Our Nine Lives, the cats were competing for the title of Most Adoptable Feline.

Bobbie: It’s evident that we’re all very adoptable, but who won?

Leia:  Based upon adoptions this past week, nobody. We’re all still here.

Heavenly Whiskers:  Difficult to believe, isn’t it? I really cannot believe Binky is still here. She’s great with dogs, other cats, and just last weekend she was snuggling with a two-year old little girl. I’m telling you, that cat is nearly perfect.

Bobbie:  Speak for yourself, Whiskers!

Binky: (blushing) Thank you, Whiskers.

Olivia:  Perfect?  I guess it depends upon the person writing the definition.  I’m perfect for an active family that

wants to be entertained.

Pirate: And who’s to say that a cat is the perfect pet? I bark to alert, but I’m quiet otherwise. And I’m great on a walk.  I love kids, cats, dogs…you name it!  Oh!  And one real big thing- I DON’T SHED!

George:   Pirate, many humans consider a little pet hair to be a badge of honor.

Tinkerbell:  I guess you might say I’m about the closest a dog comes to being sort of cat-like.

Carly:  What do you mean?

Tinkerbell:  I’m quiet, very gentle, and I’ll keep a human’s lap very warm.

Pompeii: Tinkerbell speaks the truth!  She’s a quiet little girl.  I’m pretty quiet too, but I love to play and chase a ball. And come to think of it, I like cats, dogs, and kids too!

Bobbie:  So, am I understanding this correctly that the winner of the award will be the first cat adopted?

Leia:  I think it’s an 11-way tie.  All of us ARF cats are pretty darned adoptable.

Pirate: I think the REAL winners will be the forever families that choose to take us home.
