We got another cat a couple of years ago after our other ones were gone. We got him from an animal rescue place. Thought it was a good sign that his name was Alvin because we were hoping that he would take care of some of the chipmunk population that was getting into the plants in my yard creep, epecially the bulbs. So than we had Alvin and the chipmunks. Now we have Alvin and no chipmunks.
