I had been out to dinner with my folks to celebrate my birthday at end of November, 2002. When I got home, I was enjoying a light snowfall and saw some raccoons coming up on my deck to have some kitty food I had been putting out. Suddenly, I saw a darling tortie face pop up on the deck, so I opened the door a crack and started quietly calling.
She came in for a minute and looked around, then went back out. Did this a couple more times until I decided she should stay with me and leave the raccoon family. I had two female cats already, which Pixie didn’t like, but she managed to tolerate them. Two more strays taken in later, she was not getting the attention she would have liked. Sadly, between 2014 and 2016, I lost four kitties! Now it’s just Pixie and me, with much more lap time and attention for the old girl. She’s a real doll and I’m so happy she found me!
