Caring for my son's little black medium-hair kitteh

Well, I'm caring for my son's little black medium-hair kitteh for the weekend, and she's kind-of wild.

She's not sure about being moved from her only-cat home to this wide-open place with a dog and five other cats. Having her preferred Fancy Pants food has helped. And she knows me; she spent many hours, many days, in my lap, at the office, back when.

Her left ear is folded over at the tip. Possibly from birth. Just to give her a distinctive, piratical look. She also likes to sit on my son's shoulder, like a pirate's parrot!

She's a bantam scrapper. Adopted my son off the street at a gas station years ago. Very small, and highly wired, quick to lash out - all survival necessities for the little girl on the street once, and understandable if she's still wary.

This gal understands a woman needs to be able to defend herself!
