"Hello,there,"Ann said,and heard a meow in reply.Ann,who had two resident cats,Bosco and Junior,went inside.She returned with a bowl of cat food and slid it beneath the bush.

"He is meant to he here,"Ann said.Even Gene agreed"Whatever time I have with him,"Ann said,"they're going to be the best years of his life."
