All rules have exceptions

All rules have exceptions, that's a given. Here's my exceptional one. She came here as a skinny, knocked up feral. Her kittens were born in my yard, and promptly killed by a grey tom cat who wanted her to be available to him. My daughter helped me get her spayed, and when she was recovering from that, she resided in the laundry room. She adapted to life inside, and liked it. She liked being on a lap, and having catnip toys, and fresh food when she was hungry.

And she's remained loving and kind and sweet. Imagine that?

People could take a lesson from formerly feral cats at times.
