A few years ago one of my family's beloved cats died. Old age, we all saw it coming, I even labelled the last photo "last photo of Yetta" before she died.
Anyway, after a week of mourning we went to get a new kitten. The animal shelter didn't have much to choose from so we just made a cash donation, then went to our veterinarian (who sometimes has abandoned kittens for sale, they're always desexed and chipped and had their shots).
Anyway, there we were looking at this adorable tortoiseshell kitten. The phone rang, the receptionist said something like "yes we have two kittens right now... no there are people looking at them... no I can't hold them if the other family who are actually here right now decide they want one... no if they want one they're getting it..."
Turned out somebody called to ask if they had any kittens and demanded that they not sell either kitten until the caller had been out to see them. The recptionist basically told them to take a flying leap (not in so many words), one was already sold (to us) and if somebody who bothered to show up wanted the other one they'd get it.
Anyway, my family ended up getting the kitten who's now grown into a large and extremely friendly cat.
