We had to fight death twice in order to gain right to own this cute cat. My parents found it in the street being a tiny kitten. She had a small brother, a very handsom cat, but he died later because of a decease which we and veterinars desperately tried to cure. My dear Cassy had the same desease, but probably her organism was stronger and she survived. Sadly, they both already had this illness when my parents brought them home. They were starving and thirsting. Besides, my Mom and Dad found them near a road, so they could have been killed by a car.
Now Cassy sleeps on pillows, and generally behaves like a princess. I hope she did forget all the disasters faced by her as a small cat-cub in a huge indifferent world.
Being an adult cat, she once ran away to search for a male cat, and nearly lost her life again. Love can be dangerous! :)))) But this is an absolutely different story. I'll tell you it later, if you please :))
