A year ago, my cat ran away. Last Sunday, we found out that he's still in our old neighborhood, hanging out with his "cougar" (family friend's cat named Sassy, who was born when I was about 9, which makes her about 10, almost 11 years old), so I told my mom to just let him stay there because he's happy. She was still indecisive, until this one came along:

Yesterday, I was doing the dishes when my brother called me to the kitchen window and in his arms was one of the cutest cats EVAR. I wasn't going to go see her because I didn't want to get disappointed if my dad said no to keeping her, so I stayed in, but I couldn't help myself. I went outside on the front porch with her and immediately she chirruped, ran over to me, and started nuzzling, purring, etc, as if I'd owned her my entire life. I fell in love, and instantly dubbed her Miss Fancy Pants, Fancy for short (she's a Tuxedo breed :3). My mom refused to come out and see her for the same reason i initially did, but finally caved, and had the same instant attachment I did. She tried to come inside the house when Ronnie opened the front door to see her, as if to say "you ARE my family and that's FINAL," but because dad had said we can't have her, Ronnie had to shoo her outside.
When I was about to go to bed around 3 am, I heard her meowing outside the back door, so I decided to check on her to see what was going on. Here she was sitting on our back steps, meowing in the direction of my window. I wasn't going to go out there because I had a feeling I'd end up bringing her inside for the night even though dad said we couldn't have her, but I couldn't help myself, so I sat there with her, petting/stroking/scratching her, and told her I would most definitely bring her in if I wasn't afraid of getting in trouble over it. So I brought her out some dog food (due to a lack of cat food in our house) and she munched away happily as i sat out there and kept her company. I eventually went inside to go to bed after sending nano a nice long "GUESS WHAT ^____________________^" message about the kitty.
This morning, I was woken up by a cat jumping onto my bed, followed by my mom, who informed me that my dad knows of the cat and we've decided we can keep her. I was half asleep so I don't remember much of the convo, but WHO CARES CAUSE I HAVE A KITTY NOW :3
Fancy is the sweetest cat ever. She loves all of us even though she doesn't know us that well yet, and she's extremely friendly, seems to be flea, tick, and worm-free. Has all of her claws. My mom thinks that maybe her previous owners had to move and couldn't take her so they left her behind. I think she's a sign that everything is going to be alright.
