This is my cat Shirley.
My brother found her in the garbage when she was just 5 weeks old. She was crying out for her mother.
He brought her to me and I brought her up. I fed her with a bottle, taught her how to climb trees and slept outside when she started to explore at night. I have no idea how often I've climbed trees to help her get down when she got stuck
At that time I always had bloody knees and hands. She never chose trees that were easy to climb (at least for me).
We tried to find her owner but no one ever contacted us about her so in the end we kept her.
Sadly she's very afraid of other cats (and also most other things if I'm not with her) and is more human than cat but she's a sweetheart. She doesn't like to be alone and collects pretty stones (she has her own stone pile in the garden). She will sit down on a chair right beside you when you sit at the table. When she sleeps in my bed she likes to lay with her head on my pillow and her body under the blanket. If you throw a small ball, she will bring it back to you so that you can throw it again. She also knows when I come home and waits at the doorstep while purring
I think she's absolutely adorable. She should be around 3 years now.
