That's great you rescued her. And if you can rub the belly that means 100% trust. Not that mine don't trust me.. some just don't like it. One of mine does, the other gets confused and flips over so I rub topside and the other nutcase just seems to find great amusement in setting a trap.

Interesting about the food. Mine won't tolerate a low food bowl.. they get super nutty when that happens. My primary 2 share an always full of healthy food bowl. While they eat the same amounts one is super skinny and the other obese. It would be impossible to try and separate their diets so as long as they are active, healthy and happy I see no reason to change it up. But I'm noting the spoon trick if it should ever be needed!

I hope your rescue brings you happiness for your efforts. :) I've always found cats complex and often annoying but they have a way of being quite loving.. when It suits them anyway.

I finally found a way to repay with my own cat tax - hopefully you'll see the pic - her name is Carmen. It was a lovely conversation, hope to see you around!

It was indeed fun! All my rescues have an interesting sometimes tragic story. I'll have to compile a book someday. Short of one kitten, I never posted anything on reddit. Though my first, who had to be put down at 18 because she was miserable, gained a little fame on fark back in the day.

Anyway, Carmen looks great! Healthy and happy and I love the black nose! It looks almost fake.. you didn't spray paint your cat right? Jk! Hard to believe you found her alone and crying years ago, but I'm glad she found you

Oh, FWIW I couldn't see your pic on lemmy (boost) and had to log in to kbin on desktop and find this thread and then could see it. I thought fediverse stuff was all connected? Oh well, I got to see her and your cat-tax balance has been cleared. Have a good w/e!
