I've had the same cat for like 13 years now! Her father was a wild cat, so she was always going to be tough, but she's also insanely nice as well.. which is strange. She'll run up to random people and meow at them, hoping that they'll pet her, but then she'll run up to other people who are just walking their dog and pick fights.
She's an angel around humans, but around other animals she will try to kill everything that breathes.
Her name is Star!
That is no excuse. Get a cat, death is a small price to pay.
