As I wrote about before, my parents have 7 kitties-all rescues of course. They actually had a cat who came for Christmas! This happened at their previous home-another neighbor moved out and left a poor cat behind to fend for himself. Several neighbors started feeding him, but the cat was so scared and wouldn't let anyone very close. Right before Christmas, he permitted my Dad to pick him up and bring him inside on a freezing cold day. Due to the season-they named him Nicholas-and he is now a true "daddys boy".
