I have difficulty expressing how protective I feel toward these cats. Djavvy and her children were the cats of my childhood; I grew up sleeping in the scent of their fur and the sound of their purring, but I was never responsible for them. These are the cats of my adulthood. I take care of them.

I totally get this. Well expressed.

Re: the other thing, good for the Shondes. If more people had the experience of Louisa, more people would surely feel as the band does.
