My cat was living on the streets, but she was clearly a cat that was used to people. She was skinny and very skittish. While it was clear she had been around people, it was also clear no one had been looking after her for a while. Took her to the vet and had her fixed. She got a clean bill of health (well, she had worms but she got a shot for that) and she has been a spoiled princes ever since.

I had been thinking about getting a pet, but didn't do much about it til she came along. I like that she was grown so she kinda already knows the deal and is content to hang out. I also think she knows that she has a cushy life now - I could leave the door wide open and she isn't going out.

I have a feeling my next pet is going to be the same type of story.
