AND, you're ALSO the crazy cat lady! You've got me beat by at least two critters.

Ah, NA, one minute you're the strange ,but endearing, hip old lady with a lot of cats.

The next minute you're the wimpering and frightened, down-on-the-floor with a broken hip old lady with a lot of cats who are suddenly out of food and looking at you lying there, all helpless, and trying to figure out what would be the most efficient way to strip your brittle bones of their meat. Their purrs, oh so kindly and sweet in the past, begin to sound threatening, "Purrrrrrrmeat. Meatpurrrrrrrrrrr."

And just like that, you give the term "food giver" an entirely different meaning.
