We lost my Dad in 2013 and my mom was extremely lonely. Her health did not permit her from adopting a dog, which she wanted; so my sister talked her into adopting a cat. They went to the local PetCo on adoption day for Friends of Felines. She adopted Venus, and immediately changed her name to Pretty Girl. As part of the adoption process, because of her age and health, she had to name who would take Pretty Girl if something happened. I said I would. At the time my rescued tuxedo was 17. She passed away at 23 years old. My mom passed away in 2018, and Pretty Girl came to live with me. She is the most loving and curious cat I have ever owned. I lost my husband of 44 years in January. Pretty Girl has been my saving grace. By my feet or in my lap and on the bed with me, I don’t know what I would do without her.
