Welcome to the Cat Room, Joe H! And of course, welcome to A2K, too.
Ah, I can see you're a soft touch when it comes to our feline friends. And I can see Snow has spotted this quality in you, too, very quickly.

There's something very comforting & pleasurable in giving a homeless creature a good, safe home, then watching them develop their confidence to the point that they feel safe enough to develop all those hidden idiosyncracies, isn't there? And you wouldn't have gotten to know your rightful position in the household, either, without Snow!

I can certainly relate to your story. Most of my cats have been of the homeless variety & they have all been a joy.
Lovely to meet you, Joe, & I hope we'll see you back here with your Snow stories soon. And give Snow a big hug for me.
