I first met CJ on August 10, 1996. It was my 21st birthday. I went to the Great White Pet Shop to see if they had any kittens. Recently, I had moved in with my boyfriend in a one bedroom basement suite. In my mind, this sense of permanence allowed for a pet, especially a cat. Note: I did not have my boyfriend's approval.
Pause in the story: Oh...now my son is awake...we shall see if he falls back to sleep. It has only been 1 hour of napping, so maybe...
Anyhow, I looked into the kitten cage at the pet store and there was this black and white kitten with huge ears. I kid you not, his ears were big. Immediately in love, I asked the sales person if I could hold the kitten. Well folks, it was love at first sight and confirmation at first cuddle. CJ was coming home with me for my birthday gift.
Pause again: Nope...the baby is not falling back to sleep...the story will have to continue later
