10 years ago I took my 5 year old daughter to the Humane Society to pick up a kitten. When we entered the adoption room she pointed to Carter, who’s cage was on the very top shelf away from the hubbub of the frisky kitten’s. So, instead of a kitten, we came home with this gorgeous 20 lb Maine Coon. He narrowly escaped being called ‘Bubbles Star Sweetheart’ and has tolerated a little girl who takes him all over the house, dresses him up and snuggles him until he’s able to escape. He’s the man of the house, eating, sleeping and snoring up a storm. He’s a love sponge and a very special part of our family!!!
