We adopted Little Girl from a divorcing couple that had several dogs. They split up the dogs between the two of them, and decided that neither wanted the cat. Little Girl never liked the dogs, and frequently hid where she would not be bothered. We agreed to adopt her. She immediately ran under our bed when we got her to our home. After a few days she ventured out. When she realized that there were no dogs around she became comfortable and loving. She was about 3 yrs old when we got her. She lived for about 15 years with us before she died. She has been gone now for over 10 years. She was mostly an indoor cat, though once my husband let her outside, that was where she wanted to be. She always came inside when she was called and when her food dish as rattled. I miss her. We have never gotten another pet. I do enjoy the wildlife that visits our yard. Long ago, we even had two young stags visit our bird bath. It was a dry year.
