From Rescue Shelter to Home Shelter: How a Feline Named Patience Changed My Point-Of-View

In 2006 my oldest daughter Indira Mandisa returned to our home in Cutler Bay, South Florida for a six months stay and brought her pet feline, Patience, along. Although I was not keen on the idea, I agreed (albeit) under considerable pressure. I was never a 'Cat Person' as such and, quite frankly, never imagined having one of those furry little buggers around ... much less living with one. Although I was initially insistent that the Cat's stay was going to be a short term situation, Patience eventually grew on both my wife and I so much so that we became very fond of the little Feline. This is therefore not only a photo storyline about how Patience conned her way into our home, and eventually into our hearts, but also how having her around really changed my point-of-view about Cats.
