Rest in peace, my beloved cat 😿
I cannot put into words how clever and sensitive she was.
She survived more than ten years on the street, living off scraps from a nearby coffee shop. When the COVID lockdowns forced it to close, I brought her in. At first only at night - she would wait for me by the building entrance every evening and walk upstairs with me. Eventually, she became fully part of my home, and moved two apartments with me.
She was incredibly smart and street-wise, one of those rare cats who would look you straight in the eyes. Yet she was also gentle and loving.
The following video, filmed during the lockdowns when I tried to train her to jump over stacks of toilet paper, shows her unique personality:
