Lilith came from a rescue just 1 day after she turned 8 weeks old. Completely unsocialized. Had never been touched by a human hand. Needless to say she tamed easily and slept on my pillow by my head that very first night.

Vixen came from my mother's friend. I think this story everyone knows. She was rejected at birth and buried in the blanket when she was born. The mother did not want her. My mom's friend took the blanket to throw out and out rolled Vixen just a few hours old. My mom's friend struggled with her cat to feed Vixen and had to force her to feed Vixen. Momma cat stopped feeding Vixen at 5 weeks old so I took her home and cared for her. She ate wet food readily but wasn't growing much so I started giving her kitten milk 4 times a day. She loved it and thrieved on it. Within 2 days she was exploring the house and chasing our 140lb Akita and driving Lilith crazy.
