Without words being exchanged, I knew she felt more secure by fully purchasing her little male.

She sighed and thanked me but confided that her husband didn’t care for cats saying, “I’m sorry but we've been looking for a while and he’s never even come in to see any of the kittens.” Sure enough, I looked out the window to see Stephen sitting in the car passing the time by reading a book while he waited for his wife.
