23. My late husband adopted two feral cats

They are twins.

One of them is friendly. The other one has bitten me many times so bad I've ended up at the hospital. Not funny!

After my husband died, he cries and cries and cries.

Finally, after NINE YEARS he came to me and stretched out and sat on my lap for about a half hour or so.

I had a lonely kitty it seems.

No more biting has occurred since the death.

Things can change! In this case it only took nine years!

That's a cat for you!
