You can never have enough...

We are lucky indeed. It has taken a long time for this cat and me to bond properly. She was a rescue, had had a family, then been stolen, then escaped or abandoned and had lived feral for several years before being returned (microchip) to her first home. By then her kittens had grown and the bond broken, and she hated sharing the house, and was causing enormous problems. She was going to be put down if I didn't take her, which I did on the understanding I was not able to pay big vet bills - so her future wasn't set in stone. But she has been a good companion, if a trial at times, being such a determined bossy personality, we are too much alike to fit easily.

But nowadays we have rubbed the corners off each other and I will miss her funny ways when the time comes. She rules the roost around here too in the village. The other cats are terrified of her, despite the fact she is tiny, has only one tooth and is well into her teen years now. Boy she can put on a turn of speed if they cross her invisible lines, it is hilarious to watch, even their owners find it amusing the way she bosses them around...
