Re: Cats--progress note

That's true, but little wild woman cat did sleep w/ me when I was up there
while you had her in the house. Maybe she sensed I was in tune w/ the feral
variety? And Sugar being formerly feral is not lovey sometimes, but she
sleeps w/ me and in the colder weather she loves to get on mama's lap and
snooze. And she still insists on being brushed when she eats.
