We have three spoiled cats, and two of them were strays that found their way to our door. Couldn't leave them to the mercy of the elements and traffic, so we took them in. The one in the pic I posted showed up when she was really tiny - maybe 2 months old. It took us a couple of months to get her tamed down a bit, then we trapped her, took her to the vet and had her spayed and vaccinated. She's around 10 now, and is a wonderful companion.
Oh she looks great for 10. I have my oldest he is 13. We adopted him the year we were married. The next thing I know I have tons of strays on my deck. It took a few years to get the kitten thing under control. I took three of them for myself and had the mother (luca) fixed finally after 22 kittens in two years. Yikes. She hates me I think because I took her sex life away. She just does not appreciated what we did for her! My male cats of much more loving. When they all go to heaven I need new couches! LOL
