15. My son gave us his Maine Coon Cat

His girlfriend gave him a MCC kitten. Cutest little thing you ever saw.

About a month later he broke up with his girlfriend and a month after that joined the military.

"Squeak" got a new home with the wife and I.

She became a member of our family for 16 years. We absolutely loved her.

She loved my wife and I but hated everybody else in the world. She just barely tolerated our son when he came to visit. She would have nothing to do with the grandkids or any visiting friends or other family members.

She spent the days hunting, following me around the house and yard and sleeping on my wife's lap.

She passed a couple of years ago and my wife and I still miss her.
