Tabby-mama, Gertie and Sweetness (who is utterly misnamed) are all ferals who made the transition to being sassy housecats. It was hard working with them, so Brava to Judy for adopting such a "Pretty" cat and putting in the effort.

Actually, Pretty reminds me of a wonderful cat we once rescued named Norman. We got him as a baby, and found homes for all his siblings, but he was so beautiful and so smart we had to keep him for ourselves. We lost him to feline infectious perotinitis after less than a year with him. (Crap, I'm cat-rambling again... I need help!)

Anyway, beautiful cat, thanks for posting :)

Cat rambling is fine by me! Jane adopted my Aunt Mary's cat, Cleo, after Aunt Mary died. When she brought Cleo home, she said "You better last at least a year!" Cleo lasted just a little over a year, and Jane sometimes says that she wishes she'd asked for two or three years.

It's sad to lose a cat after so short a time. Sigh.
