NORA THE PIANO CAT From Shelter to Show Biz: A Meowmoir [View All]

[DainBramaged]

Well, I'll never forget the first day I saw Betsy and Burnell at the pet shelter in a place called Cherry Hill, New Jersey - my birth mother was a humble stray cat. Anyway, Betsy and Burnell were out shopping for cat food for their five cats, and Betsy always liked to look at the cats in the shelter who were waiting for new homes. And there were a lot of us scampering about that day. We were all out of our cages, playing with wild abandon. In the middle of this chaos, Betsy saw me playing all by myself. That was because I didn't like to play with the other kittens, but, fortunately, Betsy didn't realize this at the time. The next thing I knew, I was being scooped up in Betsy's arms. Immediately, I began playing with her long braid. It was love at first sight.

A few days later, after the shelter called her vet and some friends to make sure I would have a good home, Betsy and Burnell returned to pick me up. This time none of the kittens were out playing. We were all in our cages with cards on the front describing our personalities. The cards on the other kitten's cages said things like, "Get's along well with children," or "Like's other animals." You know, stuff like that, which made me a little nervous cause my card just said "BOSSY!" It didn't say anything about how smart I was, or how friendly I was to humans, or how cute I was, or how soft I was, and how pretty I was. Just "BOSSY!" It was humiliating. And I was pretty worried that Burnell and Betsy would change their minds about adopting me when they saw the card. Fortunately, they were was so completely in love with me they didn't care what the humans at the shelter thought. Betsy and Burnell were excited to take me home to meet my new siblings.
