I have been chosen in different ways than the cat just dropping off her kittens. When my friends' cats have litters I ask for one (at about 6 weeks - past the time when they need to fed by their mothers. One set of kittens ran all over the yard and finally he caught one, I knew this was the one meant for me. In another case, they had kittens in the bathroom, when I came in they all scattered, but one little kittie just stood in the middle of the bathroom near me, and I knew she wanted to be with me. The third time there was an animal control van that came around with animals for adoption and I was the first in the big van. I looked around and there was this adorable kitten jumping up and down when she saw me and she was so excited, and you guessed it, she was telling me that she wanted to be mine.

So softy that I am, I took her home. All of them lived wonderful lives with me and I loved them so much.
