I live out in the country, but on a very busy street. It's one of the major roads that leads up into the mountains. The speed limit is 55mph.
For some reason, this seems like a very good place to drop off unwanted cats. At one time, I had 9 cats here and only two of them were cats that I, myself, chose.
My neighbor across the street said he had a stray cat hanging around that ran when you approached it. So I loaned him my trap. He caught her and I put her in the old house on the back of my property in order to gain her trust.
She had a big fist-sized knot, a really hard knot on her side (I thought it reminded me of the toe of a boot), and a big, hard knot on her tail. I kept her locked up back there for a month, and we became pretty good friends. During this time, I had her spayed.
I thought she was about a year old, still quite kitten-ish, and she didn't know how to play, but we soon fixed that.
When I finally let her outside, she became my CONSTANT companion. When I'm outside, she follows me everywhere. And she makes me laugh all the time. She is SO darned cute. Well, physically, she's pretty cute, but her actions are just so cute.
