Last August I posted a picture of this stray cat who was very scared and ran away when we tried to get close. She is still afraid of other people, but knows she is OK with my husband and me. It is freezing cold outside and she spent last night in our basement. We were very relieved to see that she used the litter box!!!
As others have said, it's so wonderful of you and your husband to offer this homeless kitty a place to shelter when the weather's awful. It appears she likes the lights on the tree!
What a lucky cat!
