Lady was a black shorthair, part Siamese with a very ladylike demeanor, thus her name. A talker, and very determined. " I'm pregers and hungry, they moved and left me behind, FEED ME. Her babies were feral and ran away as soon as they were able. She worked her way into the house (on her terms) and learned many words and terms including Japanese table, a placemat on the floor for her food. She developed liver tumors and lived 4 I/2 years amazingly with them to almost age 15. She made it clear I'm not ready to leave, yet. So smart, so tough, taught me so much.
