Do you remember how you felt when you were a kid and your parent or grandparent surprised you with something? Remember that feeling of excitement joy rushing through your body? That's what I felt when my Dad brought home my very first kitten.
I was just about 6 years old. Each Saturday morning my father would wake up very early to make coffee, shower and read the entire newspaper. One morning in particular he told me he was going to the store to pick up some groceries. He asked me if I wanted anything from the store and I told him just a package of gum. My Dad said okay and I patiently waited for him to return to bring me a pack of gum.
Less than an hour later my Dad came home but it was not with a pack of bubble gum, like I was anticipating. He came home holding an adorable orange and white kitten! I was so shocked that he came home with a kitten. This was a pet I've wanted to have for months! The kitten was perfect, he had a beautifully designed coat. Orange and white stripes going everywhere and he was so friendly.
Of course I totally forgot about the gum because I got a new baby kitten. I named him Ralphy and he was one of the best cats I've ever had. There would be times when I wasn't feeling well and Ralphy would come lay next to my head and knead his paws into my hair. It would feel so good getting a massage on my head and having him purring at the same time. It was a very comforting feeling and that is one reason why I'm such a cat lover.
I will never forget the morning my Dad surprised me with a kitten. It amazes me to this day that I remember that day so vividly. Surprise can be so fun, especially when you get something you've wanted to for a while. The cool thing about surprises is that you can be any age to receive and enjoy them!
