Esmeralda the cat joined
us in around June 1998.
Her adoption was a little more
unusual. I had just started a new job in transitional property
management, and was conducting my first 'eviction' in the company of the
local constabulary. Esmeralda (approx 4 months old) had been left in
the house for around a week, at a guess, from the mess we
found. This old softie fell for her hook, line and sinker as
she reminded me very much of my last feline companion, who had been
ushered into the next world by the vet, after she got her tail under the
wheel of my car.
She runs the household with an iron paw (claws
suitably sheathed of course), and even Sheena succumbed to her
wiles. |
