My dog-loving, allergy-ridden, feline-fearing husband bought our children a cat.
He had found a friendly kitten when he took the girls to a store where the Humane Society was having an event. I was at a meeting, and he couldn’t get me on the phone, so with tear-stricken children, he left without her.
We were back by the same store the following weekend, and I told him, “Wouldn’t it be funny if she was still there?”
