Kitty is from a rescue litter - we have no idea her background, I believe she is a calico, tortoise mix.

She comes from a long line of street/alley cats and is a hunter and fighter, the best mouser/rat and gopher catcher we’ve ever had.

Unfortunately, she is FIV positive - the vet told us this is not uncommon in street cats, it’s inherited from the mother. She is now a 99% indoor cat (and hates it).

My Daughter had a a cat that never left the house and actually just stayed in one room for the 3 years it was with them. (There were 2 other cats in the house and they did not get along.)

I guess they have Catios (Outside cat enclosures) for cats that you do not want to roam. Can be pretty pricey.

Also, nice lemons! Good to be able to grow your own!
