Our First Kitty, Agape
Shortly after Berta and I were married, we were visiting Uncle Bud and Aunt Peg's farm. One of their cats had just had a litter, but they were old enough to separate. Berta came to me with a sheepish expression, and said, "Can I have a kitty?" The next step was to decide which kitty to have, My grandmother, Bessie, had a little dog who was all bark. He came running toward the litter, barking. All kittys but one ran away. One kitty faced up to the dog, arched his back, hissed, and made the dog back down. Berta and I looked at each other and said, "That's our cat!"
There were some iinteresting problems with having a strongminded cat. For example, on one trip for the military we were driving across the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico - the world's largest sandbox. Agape, however, would not use it, and, when he needed to go, we had to dig out his litterbox.
