I love this story! I love the compassion within it, as the parents try to teach their children, and the cat lady has more going on than it seems from the outset. :)
It also reminded me vaguely of a story I read long ago in a Sword and Sorceress anthology, about a woman who adopted all the orphaned familiars of other witches and wizards... I don't even remember what that story was called, but there are nuances here that reminded me of it. I love it when I read a story that reminds me of another because I think all stories have connections.
Thatβs such a sweet story. And the twist is so matter-of-factly delivered, it gave me chills. Also, Iβm really intrigued by this cat lady now, sounds like she has a great back story.

I love cats and people who love them!
What a fun twist! I'm gonna share your story tomorrow for Caturday on Twitter.

This was a fun read!
Ooh, I have so many thoughts on how we're collectively cruel to elderly women who find companionship in hands-off pets. I loved this. Thank you. <3
Cat people are the best. πββ¬π₯Ή
You can't leave it at this! It demands more!
There is way more to know about this woman's past ... interesting set up.
