[for the second time recently, he'll see the smile drop from her face like a mask falling off. normally she'd be able to bullshit an answer easily, but today? after being directly reminded of things?]
I... that's sort of a tough question.
Re: later, after getting a phone call from lithium
So, first cat just fuckin' wandered in. Scoped out everything, jumped up on the counter, as fuckin' proud as you please.
Grabbed a sandwich in his DUMB GREEDY MOUTH and started dragging it off the counter.
That was Scruffy. Honestly, he became my cat. Had him for years. ... Like, he never let me pick him up and was too smart to trap, so I just kept him at the cafe. Some people started comin' in just to see him since he was a biiiiiig ol' ham for a good petting.
The others were all strays at the start. Though sometimes people'd bring rescues, and eventually got some work with a local shelter to socialize and adopt out cats.
- I basically hit two cats and did a whole bunch of renovations and SO much song and dance with the health department you got NO idea.
