Very nice cat story, Ginger! It's such a revelation to see the metamorphosis in a creature as it comes to know care, love, and trust. Carol

I was quite taken with Gypsy when I stayed with you in the Fall years ago in Baltimore. She adopted me for the duration and slept on the guest bed with me every night. Your other two cats had seniority over her and got the prime spots on your bed, but for a week she got to be my #1 bed cat!

I am a cat lover, I too believe there is something special about a cat and the way they show affection, my Salem was a stray and she is a lover. I cannot have her where I am, and it breaks my heart.

Loved hearing about Gypsy. She behaves like my Shy, loving only me and making a beeline for the doggy door, upsetting everything in sight if a stranger visits inside the house. I guess patience will see us all through these scary times....Kath

What a precious cat tale. Gypsy should dance with glee at her home now, because you obviously take very good care of her. The dividends are well worth it; aren't they?
Blessings,

Great love story! Pets do give us lots of love. My little dog Waldo follows me from room to room & always seems glad to see me when I come home. Such a feel-good-feeling.
