The older cat was a stray and we just loved her so we took her in and our little guy was from a farm with nice people that were looking for good homes for kittens.We took one look at him and fell in love with him.Tasha treats dax like her baby. She hugs him like the photo shows quite a bit. It's awesome to see how cats express love to not only the owners but to each other. Cats are such amazing creatures,we all can learn something from them if we all just slow down our lives just a bit.
