Mr. Katz joined the family before we were married. The little boy next door had shown us his new kitten, "Mimi" who promptly decided to spend more time at our house than its own. Speedy, our dog at the time, just as promptly, decided to become the kitten's protector, John started feeding it and soon, well, you get the idea. We now had a cat. We started calling it Kitty, and then days before the wedding discovered it was a male. It became "Mr. Katz". He has now taken over the house and is quite demanding, as well as quite adorable. When he wants to be.
