My daughter and I adopted Macy about 4 years ago through the Humane Society. The first things that drew me to her were her big, round green eyes, and her pretty black and white coloring. She was the first cat I had been able to own in years, so the event was all that more special.
She quickly established herself in our household as the queen, and stayed that way up until her precious last breaths. She and I had our own special relationship.
