is currently probably curled up on the futon. It has taken time to gain her trust to transition her into a housecat, but she is very well-mannered.
She does like to hunt, though, and I'm not certain anything I could possibly do would break that habit. She has gotten a lot fatter, and is less inclined to hunt than she is to menace other cats coming into her "territory", but she's still a cat that learned to survive after nearly starving to death.
She is probably the sweetest cat I've ever had, and even a hint of disapproval causes her to not do whatever she did again with just a gentle "no". She won't attack the wrens building nests in the rafters because I told her no, if you can believe it.
She's just a plain tabby cat, though, so unless you knew her personality, you'd probably think her feral or mean. She's sweeter than my fluffy himalayan, and better mannered too, and the fluffy one hasn't ever set foot outside except by accident.
That's her playing with a silly toy I made for her out of an old sock
