One of the few female cats I ever owned truly, truly loved me. I miss her. We first met when I was at my BFs house (later I married him). She trotted across the yard from a neighbor's and jumped up in my lap like she'd known me for years. When those neighbors decided to move, they decided to give her up. I took her. She had two sets of kittens while with me before I had her spayed, mostly because I couldn't bear to give any more kittens away. She always slept with me and when she was pregnant, she'd not go to sleep without my hand wrapped around her tummy. It was totally cool to feel the kittens move and she enjoyed the massage (as any pregnant woman would). During those years, I was having a lot of pain due to pancreatitis. When I'd be home from work with it, I'd sleep propped up in the corner of the sectional sofa. She'd come and lay with me. (None of the other cats were quite this affectionate, BTW. They loved me, but she was different.). I was sick one day soon after she'd had her second litter of kittens. She had them in the closet where I'd fixed her a nice spot. The day that I was sick, she'd come stay with me a while, then go stay with the kittens a while...back and forth for hours. Some time that afternoon, I hear mewing. Here she comes with a kitten in her mouth out to me. She actually jump up onto the sofa with it and layed it on my chest. Then, she went back to get another one that she placed on the floor in the corner of the couch. I put the one she'd layed with me with it and she agreed it was a good thing (she had a certain meow). She went and got the other two and added them to the pile. From there, it was simply a jump on or off the couch to switch motherly attention. I think it's one of the sweetest things EVER in my life. She eventually died (she was white and she got hit one morning when the fog was thick as pea soup). We buried her in the backyard and I had a river rock engraved with her name on it. Since then, I've buried two more cats there and now, that's the center of my medicine wheel. Master Fire
