Two years a go I was looking for a long hair cat, I had a cat 10 years a go and now it was time to try again.
I searched through the internet, the local pet stores and adoption centers for "my perfect cat" a long hair Maincoon type was my dream, but long hair cats were nowhere to be found in Los Angeles.
I discovered a sign that said "Kittens" on PCH in Hermosa Beach, California. I went into the VCA Animal hospital, where every weekend a non-profit organization called The Peter Zippi Foundation holds cat adoptions.
As I walked up the stairs, I could see all the kittens were in a small room with a giant cage, they all shared it. I went into that room and there were cats flying, playing, biting, jumping on each other. It was like a monkey cage! In all that chaos I looked down at the floor and there was this orange kitty, he looked right up me with a smug look as if in saying "I'm the king here and I'm the cutest here. You must hold me" and so I did. I picked him up and he sat on my shoulder, as if we knew each other from before. His face looked like a China Doll, he had short hair and green eyes, he had a name already; Sully and it fit him so I kept the name. Not exactly the long hair cat of my dreams but there was something about him, I had to take him home......
I was happy I found a cat, I was ready to adopt and to my surprise I was told you have to adopt two. Reason being, while you are at work, they need someone to play with, keep them company etc.
Luckily Sully had a brother, a skinny, scary kitty that was not very friendly and not very cute either, his name is now Mickey. I figured, after not having a cat for 10 years, this was the payoff, giving a home to two brothers that could be together forever. No separate homes, they would grow up to know and love each other, and so my cat story begins.....
