Meg in Maine sends us this photo of her cat Bono in his tie (which, she swears, he loves!) and writes:
I adopted this little guy at The West Kennebunk Animal Shelter in Kennebunk, Maine. I was there donating my two Pomeranians' surplus of dog toys and food when I decided to walk around and check out the cats.
My intent was only to play with them and to help the volunteers clean, but this little guy latched right onto me. In fact, he lept into my arms and started purring and giving me headbutts. I put him down to go help out in another cat room, and when I returned, he did the same thing.
I put him down to tend to another cat, and he crawled in my purse ... I figured any cat with that good of taste in handbags was SURELY a keeper.
They said he was 8 years old, had a torn cornea and was missing all but six teeth. He's in better shape now, and loves playing with the two poms and the other cat. He is such a cool cat that I don't even mind the drooly headbutts at 5 a.m. when he wakes me for work.Think your adopted pet is just as cute? Send me the pic at "blog (at) Petfinder.com" and I'll mail you a Petfinder bumper sticker.
I named him Bono, and although I already have two dogs, a cat and a ferret, I'm not sorry that I brought my little man home with me! He loves his tie, and stealing dog toys -- he knows he's the boss -- although my female Pomeranian has a few things to say about that!

Are your Petfinder pets cuter than these?
He sounds like he's a handful but in ways reminds me of the cat we used to have. His
name was d-con and every morning all my mom had to do was tell him to come wake
me up for school, so he would come running into my room and attack my hair and
pillows until i got up. With him and his sister boots in the house i don't think i ever got
a night without one of them waking me up every fifteen or so minutes.
Hello Meg!!
Just finished reading your story on Bono. It seems he has adopted you instead. He seems to be a Beautiful Cat, and very Smart.
Best wishes to both you and Bono.
Sincerely,
Elaine Smith
