Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats and dog, Tex, were feeling a bit down about not finding their forever families.
Panther: Everyone is looking a bit glum.
Astro: Speak for yourself! Radar and I have so much fun together. Wouldn’t it be great if a family took us both? We could continue to play and wrestle.
Panther: You’re right, Astro. It would be great. But what if you were adopted by yourself?
Astro: That would be OK, too.
Radar: As long as I also found a family.
Tex: I’d be so happy to be the only dog. I’d love to hike and play and fetch a ball with my own humans.
Bear: There is no question Astro, Radar and Tex would like an active home.
Zeus: Whereas Bear and I wouldn’t mind a quiet home that offers warm laps and lots of petting.
Bear: Got that right. Panther, how about you?
Panther: I want a home that will offer lots of attention. I’d be a great cat to welcome guests. I love everyone.
Indie: No hiding under the bed for you! I like humans, too, but I don’t run to them the way you do.
Bear: Maybe with fall starting to appear, humans will realize they want to settle into a comfy chair with a beautiful cat in their laps.
Pepper: And there are lots of beautiful cats here!
Radar: And adorable kittens. Not everyone is content to just sit with a feline in his lap.
Tex: Some like to play! I’ll play and play. I’ll offer all kinds of entertainment.
Astro: And so will I! Fun times ahead!
Zeus: It all depends upon what the humans want.
Panther: And as someone said last week, ARF is one-stop shopping. There is a four-legged for any and every one!
