It is not easy to trust people, huh, Magic. I'm so warmed by your story, and since you are a NJ kitty I'm sure you are glad you took the chance to trust because now you no longer have to endure our frigid winter months outside. I smiled when I read about the reference to a panther in your story, as I call our Jette (also formerly feral and extremely wary) my Big Black Velvet Panther. Black like you, save for a few white hairs under his armpits, his chest and groin area . . . do you have any white hairs? Welll, I wish you a delighful day celebrating your COTD honour and I admire the courage it took to finally accept your loving guardians' hospitality . . . you have added a new dimension to their lives, and they to yours. Blessings to you and yours, Mr. Magic man.
