Watching a YouTube video of someone showing off their new recently adopted kitten, remind me of the cat that we took in for a short while. Back in the 2009, My 'oldest' brother showed up with a cat at our door. I remember the cat being all black with these beautiful yellow eyes. The previous owner who had her couldn't keep her anymore because of personal reasons and they wasn't really fond of her and was about to throw her off on the streets; But my brother took her in with his girlfriend at the time (she's his wife now).
Unfortunately, they found out where they lived didn't want any pets on the premises so they bought her over to our house, which also at the time didn't want us to have pets. I could barely keep a hamster during my childhood (More like Tween/Teen..but whatever).
My mom decided to take her in for a while until she could find out what to do with her. We called her 'Ms. Kitty', which we later found out that the previous owner didn't even bother to give her a name, just called her 'the cat'.
Ms. Kitty was such sweetheart and well behaved. She would often follow us around the house and curl up next to us when we sat down. However, while my mom was okay with having her in the house. She wasn't a fan of the cat being near her furniture. So one day Ms Kitty was just doing cat stuff, like walking on the furniture and my mom startle her causing the cat to...well freak out and she (Ms. Kitty) accidentally knocked over some stuff in the progress; which upset my mom and she told me to put her out on the patio. The poor thing started meowing so sadly, so I went out there with her and she would not stay away from my legs, just prevented me from leaving her alone.
Then the next day, my mom was able to find an animal shelter and we sent her over there. I remember us sitting in a room there and I had Ms. Kitty sitting on my lap. Once again, such a sweetheart.
Then a lady came in and took her away in the back. She also commented on how beautiful her eyes were.
Even though our time was short. It was fun having a cat. I hope she whoever took her in treated her with the love and care she needs.
