Dear MEOW,

One year ago, I adopted “Cougar”, the cat pictured in the top left corner of your banner on your website. I wanted to send you an update on her life with her new family! She has been through a lot since being adopted. The first of which is that she has a new name of “Lady Bug” and is now affectionately referred to as “Buggy”. Shortly after adopting her, my boyfriend’s house caught fire. So, I moved into a new apartment in Redmond and took in not only my boyfriend but his cat “Chief” as well. Chief is a 3 year old kitty who grew up in a house full of 4 rough-housing boys, so he is not what you would consider to be a friendly cat and can be somewhat aggressive. Now, about a year later, Chief and Lady Bug cuddle together, eat and sleep together, and enjoy chasing toys and sitting in the window sill together. The two have a permanent home here with us and we can’t imagine our life without either of them.  It’s like Lady Bug trained him how to be a nice cat!

Lady Bug’s personality is like no other cat I have owned before. She a cuddle-bug by every definition of the word, and will even meow (more like a scream) at you if you are not petting her. It is adorable! While she may not be the “brightest” of cats, we find humor in the silly things she does which make every day with her that much more special. She wins the hearts of everyone who meets her! My 2 year old niece always mentions her by name, well as close as she can by saying “EEE-di Bug”, and our friends always ask where Lady Bug is when they come to visit. We simply can’t imagine our life without her, and we are amazed each and every day at how she and Chief have bonded with each other. My boyfriend has now become my fiancee, and after our wedding in a few short weeks, we hope to add a new kitten to our life. We will definitely be coming back to MEOW to look for a new member of our family.
 
Sincerely,
Lindsay and Stefan
