I am terribly sad for the young woman. She did the right thing. Why expose a cat, whose only crime is to have been born with the wrong color fur, to people such as her mother and brother who are ignorant and backwards enough to believe in witches? "She was smiling from ear to ear." Imagine how she felt -- not only did she have to give back the cat she deeply wanted -- for its own good -- but she also have to face the reality of her family's prejudices and narrowed-mindedness.
