“She’s been the best cat ever.”
I think abandoned animals realize quickly that life is better from a can. My cat’s very appreciative too. (Although, she will play hard to please just to see if there is something better on offer that I’ve been holding back.)
My daughter insists that, as the cat bounded over the snow toward them, she was mewing: “Humans! I’m saved!” When we have guests, she greets them. When they leave, she wanders around the house, looking for them. She’s about as friendly a cat as I’ve ever met.
