Here's Sally, making herself so pretty. She's my pride, my love. To think that there was a time that I was considering giving up on her. I adopted her from an animal shelter as part of a "buy one, get one free" deal. My first purpose was to get a tabby for pest control. When I learned about the "buy one, get one free" deal, I thought "why not?". So, among the available animals, I chose this short-haired female cat, thinking they would get along. They seemed to manage together at the shelter... Boy was I wrong. The male had already been spayed, so I took him home first. A few days later, I got a call to tell me that Sally was ready to be picked up. I picked her up and brought her home. As a precaution, I kept them separate, the male inside the house and Sally outside. Lucky for the male, there was the door between them. As soon as she saw him or smelled him, she went into a fury and kept hitting the door to get to him. If she could have laid a claw on him, she would have killed him, the poor thing. I had to take the male back to the shelter. What a change since then, she turned to be the sweetest cat I ever had.

I'm sorry the 2 of them together didn't work out

I am surprised you kept her instead of him, but I'm glad you did and so glad she is such a love now! She is beautiful!

She loves to follow me when I go about my business around the property. Sometimes, she gets distracted and she gets left behind. When I call her, she realizes that she's away from me and comes running back to me. Zoooom! She's so funny! She's my love. I think she likes to show off. She's my show-off girl.

I used to watch her while was sleeping. I could see her paws twitching sometimes. I wondered what she was dreaming about. Good dreams or bad dreams? How was her life before me? I think she's happier now with me.

Sometimes, when she rubs her head against my feet, she's so enthusiastic that she falls over. When she zooms past me, sometimes, using the momentum from her running, she climbs in a tree, 6 or 7 feet up, and comes back down. The fact that she never intended to go all the way up the tree tells me she did it to show off.

Sometimes, she comes to see me to get petted, rubs her tail against my leg. When I'm done petting her and move forward, she reaches for my foot with her paw, as if to say "Don't go!".

I gently tap her side and she purrs. She loves to have the back of her head scratched, but her ears, not so much.

I call out to her, "Sally!" and she replies "Meow!". Sally and my chicken don't get along. Sally really doesn't get along with any other animal that I know. My chicken comes running on the rustling sound of a plastic bag that contain/may contain/may have contained food. And, if Sally is in the path of the chicken rushing to get to the food/perceived food, then Sally may think that the chicken is after her. Luckily, when the chicken gets close to Sally, it knows better than to come too close. Sometimes, Sally loses patience with the chicken and lunges at her.
