Feline members of the household

As a premise for a possible story I decided to write about the felines that live in my house. They are not just cats or pets-they are members of the family. They each have such distinct personalities,looks, and quirks that how they get along in this house is amazing. My children and I each have our favorite cat but they all are memebers of the household.
The first cat that joined us is my dear "Angel" or as the kids call her "Lucifer" or Lucy for short. She became a member this family a few months after the divorce. I was living in an apartment complex that forbade pets but Iwas desperate to have a cat that I could come home to after at night after I finished working my two jobs. It was difficult to know that I would come home to an empty apartment every other week when the kids were spending time with the father. I needed something or someone to talk to, to cuddle with, and to take care of for the beta fish was fulfilling my needs as a four-legged pet could. I was fortunate that the owner of the apartment complex was a friend of mine and knew what I was going through. He allowed me to get a cat as long as I kept it indoors and told none of the other tenants that he allowed me to have a pet. I was overjoyed and quickly started my search for the new member of my family and friend. I did not tell the kids what I was doing for I wanted to surprise them. It was getting close to the holiday season and I knew that the selection of kittens would be low and my time was limited also. Imagine my surprise when one day as I was at  the local craft show there was a little sign at one of the booths advertising a kitten that needed a new home. I knew the girl that was sitting there so I asked her the usual questions realizing within a few moment this kitten was the one. I quickly made arrangements to have the kitten brought to my place the next day for I was due to be at work within the hour. That night I felt like a kid waiting for Santa to come; I could hardly sleep and imagine all the great things this kitten would bring to my life. There was ine thing that I knew I was going to do immediately and that was change her name for they had given her a male name and I knew before I had even met her she was my "Angel" that would be her name.
She arrived at the promised time and forgive the cliche but it was love at first sight. She cuddled around my neck and started purring. The former owner told me more of her history. I am not sure how much is true but due to her dislike of being covered I am one to believe her sad beginning in this world. The owner told me that Angel had been resecued at a very young age by her and her friend form being drowned in a sack with the rest of the litter as they were thrown in a pond. My kitten was only one of two that survived this tough beginning, This girl did not wnat ot give her up but she and her mom were allergic to cats and she could not keep her.
The first few hours were setting up the household to accommodate her. I set up the litter box, showed her where her food bowls, and introduced her to the new toys I had purchased that morning. Mainly I did not let her out of my sight as I connected with her. I sat on the futon petting her and letting her explore her new domain. Soon it would be time for the children to return home and I was anxious that they would like her. They had pets from their childhood that they still seen at their fathers so how would they react to having a pet at my place? How could I explain why I had to have her and why they would need to keep her a secret form everyone? They arrived, surprised and soon just as much in love with her as their mother.
 The next few days were a joy and Angel seemed to adjust immediately to the household and living in secret.It ws amusing to watch this cute little fur ball even make friends with the fish that swam around in this unique floating candle bowl that I had changed into a fish bowl.  These two creatures would play chase and kiss each other. Many hours of amusment were spent watching them by us and our friends that were in our secret of having the cat. She was what I needed those long winter months; a friend, a confidant, and more importantly someone to love and love me.
Unfortunately as Spring turned into Summer things changed that I wish I could explain for my little angel became an angry cat that soon no one could be around but me and occasionally the fish.
