My division director loves Norwegian Forest Cats. The woman still gets teary-eyed over a cat she lost 10 years ago to illness and these animals are like her children. But I can't help wishing she'd go to a shelter and save a cat that needs a family and a home. It would be so much cheaper than flying a cat in from another state.
