Misha came into our family in December of 2011. Her life before that was not nice, she lived in a house closed in the boiler room. We already had a male cat Astor at home, who needed company. My husband found out about her, and knowing that I love black cats, he went after her. I got her for a Christmas gift, it was the best Christmas gift for me. This small scoop of cat was full of fleas and very sick, we immediately took her to the vet, and cared for her for a long time. She also had traumatic experiences, she showed a lot of aggression, and all of us were attacked at some point. After one month I was struggling with this, but bundled her in a towel so I was not scratched, and gave her a lot of love. Slowly she realized that not all people are bad, and opened her heart. Today Misha is the most loving cat in the world. I love her very much, and her days with her are beautiful now.
