So, I said this on facebook...

Some of you may not know everything this cat and I have been through. Years ago, I had left town for a gig when I came back the sitter hadnt seen her for a day or so. ( She at one time as an indoor/ outdoor cat...) I finally found her under the house. Her hind leg was shattered. Sadly, I still allowed her to be indoor/outdoor... as she was seriously a hunter and like other cats in my past.. we played awesome games of hide and seek outside. Her second injury .. and far more serious was a pit bull attack ( if you havent seen the judge joe brown episode.. its pretty .. ummm.. interesting.) I found her again, under the neighbors water heater. BOTH times when I found this cat.. she let out a very interesting mew.. and melted into my arms once I had her. I truly feel as though she was thinking.. oh thank god.. Im going to be okay now. The vet let me sit with her for hours at a time while she recuperated.. and she, like most cats.. would eat when her owner was present. I truly feel there is this bond with this beast... and thats why it kills me.. when she does what she did tonight. During the torture.. she turns and looks at me and tries to climb into my arms as though I can protect her from me... it is so bizarre to see her have that look of why are you betraying my trust. But.. we get thru it.. and tonight.. rather than hiding afterwards.. she went to her box... put her face against the back wall when I approached... but was forgiven when I presented her some tuna soup.... she begrudgingly ate it... ;-) (( there are those of you that might prefer I talk about the state of the union... yawn ))
