China!After the debacle with Grateful Greyhounds, I went over to PETCO to get food for the cats. PETCO has a couple of cages near the front door and there are usually a few cats looking for homes in there.

One of the cats named China, was a great big tub of a cat (18 lbs.) who was 11 years old. Old timers like that often find it hard to get adopted so I checked her situation. She was very friendly, instantly reaching out for me to scratch her neck. She gave me a very gentle nibble on my fingers.

I called Michel and she and Beth came by the next day and filled out the paperwork. The cat was actually held by the Last Hope Animal Rescue so they checked with our vet who gave us a glowing recommendation and the next day, China was a member of our family. The other cats are slowly working things out with her. China has adopted the family room as her room since it is close to the kitchen. It’s not easy keeping up your obesity!
