She came to us Oct 10, 2012, as a foster cat (she was two or three at the time). She died yesterday. It took us a year to recognize that she was ours, but she made up her mind within a week that she had found her home. She was a cat of strong opinions. #caturday #CatsOfMastodon<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/454/178/604/405/617/original/46d5f2c20526f92b.jpg"> <br/> 2024-11-09T17:35:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs95alpsksu9k0u2px6gqcuq86n7he74skghhsq38c6euc2w36dnjczyzfynutyl9wq0zzmepvr3plmdv36cz7gtf0kqly39h9p25wy3v5fs49rjrd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgcz3ncw0kw25kzrq97pk2y06y4p5qewz350uzje6atguvgnpvgpsv9350k'>nevent1q…350k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I certainly am. 2024-11-03T02:14:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqdm2xpt22derlcg48ptp8aal73q4wvwgs5yz5pudhe02s7lz6n6gzyzfynutyl9wq0zzmepvr3plmdv36cz7gtf0kqly39h9p25wy3v5fs38qmk6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0xthlfgj8nf0wp6e59gwljyxmng8gwjt6m4c69ff0w3k66pmemdsv78u85'>nevent1q…8u85</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Please let me know if anything is unclear.

And I know a dozen other people who also believe they can&#39;t eat hot sauce. Little do they know.... 2024-07-09T20:46:13Z
