Be not ashamed, Rachael, for you have found your people.
Bastet: I too am a "crazy cat lady" Currently 3 indoor only cats own me, and there are from 1-3 neighborhood strays that I feed regularly. This winter was so cold, that there were days I'd do three or four feedings, just to keep whichever poor souls were out there fueled up. I tried offering garage shelter, but they are too skittish.
I am a massage therapist by trade. Almost two years now. Went back to school in my mid-40's for it, and it's simply the BEST decision I have ever made.
