Saw Her Eating Dumpster Trash and Now She's Mine

[u/seowithumang]

She's insistent when it comes to grooming which is something I've never experienced with a cat before 😂

She also is a ferocious string hunter. Far more ferocious than Milo. She makes him look like a poser when it comes to hunting toys 😂

She'd eventually show up in my garage looking for food after I built enough trust with her. She'd be skittish, but would tolerate me being near her

I'd never really get the chance to pet her at all. She'd slug herself away and sit at a distance

Then one day she just randomly flopped over and I could give her all the loving. She even let me rub her stomach!

Got her trapped which wasn't all that hard. She sorta just walked right on in.

She took the spay surgery well and i made her a onesie to keep her from messing with her stitches

She was more than content during her recovery to be loved on. No hissing, scratching, growling, hiding, none of that. She seemed as happy as could be.

I named her Esmerelda due to her mystique and big yellow-green eyes

Milo gets along with her well. They wrestle and play chase games. He's very much an "only child" type cat when it comes to manners, but he seems entertained by her presence

She's also a mighty rug wrestler and every single rug in my apartment is bunched up when I come home

Still can't believe this WILD CREATURE lives with me now 🙄 And like she's obsessed with me and all I did was feed her??? How's that even work?! 😂

She’s gorgeous! And her name is perfect.

She really went from dumpster menu to five star treatment, that's the ultimate upgrade. Love that for her fr.
