Ally Cat's Mommy

This is the latest stray which has decided to "latch on".....need to find that "invisible" sign - which can be seen only by scruffy strays, and which says "Free Food and Board"
I have called her Kissy. She has a horribly deformed mouth (the "front" teeth at the bottom are around to one side, and she can't close her mouth properly). (When she eats she makes a really funny kissing noise). As I dont know her medical history I dont know if she was injured when she was younger, or if this is a birth defect.
What I HAVE found out is that she is yet another abandoned pet:( ........... a family who lived in the compound moved back to the UK, and just left her behind. I don't know how these people can live with themselves! According to the security guard who lives on the compound, she was abandoned around 6 months ago, and the security and gardening staff have been feeding her.
Because of her deformed jaw, she does not seem to be able to eat dry food properly, so I have been softening the food with some water, and then mixing some tinned food with it to give it some flavour. She seems to enjoy it, and waits for me every morning and evening for food! She also craves attention, and will head-bump me relentlessly. After 15 minutes of petting I try to go insdie again and she cries! Only problem is that when I go inside Ally hisses, bites and scratches me. (Not a very charitable young lady, is she?)
Anyway, that's Kissy's story, and here is her picture. (You can see how squint her jaw is, and her mouth also does not close properly:(
