My dear Mother was scheduled to go into the hosoital for a critcal operation. My aunts knowing of my Mothers love of cat bought a lovely little kitten that they called Sheba because of her regal ways, Well my dear mother passed on in the hospital and my uncle and aunt kept Sheba as they wre boarding her. Well they have passed on and my cousin , the executor offered me Sheba as at age 12 there was no interest in the family. Sheba is coming along bit by bit, but it is tough for her as she not only lost her Guardian person , but her sweet companion Mr . Whiskers age 14 who had to be put down due to age and arthritis. A double blow for the poor littl cat but my cats are very warm to her and she is starting to come around. And she has come full circle and is now in the family.
