I'm playing Saratoga today and the momcat Mister Mittens is crashed on the Castro just 15 feet away from my desk in my TV room. With a belly full of premium cat food and an air-conditioned room to nap in I can tell that she misses dearly being ravaged by tomcats and hunting rhodents and going through garbage for food.
Ah, phooey, we were just happy to save her and two of her kittens. She's a nice girl but she's still got some "wild" in those green eyes. She has adapted beautifully to being a spayed house cat with love and good treatment from the humans she owns.
