Music and Cats

Lyra is from abuse and neglect, and a wound that looked like a cigarette burn and took two months to heal. She is from struggling when held and fear of men with beards. She is from a foster home with kind children and a mother cat with kittens. She wandered around our house that first day crying for the kittens, and catching the scent of our recently dead cat. I cried with her, still missing my kitten of 19 years. Soon after, we brought home Sasha and Segei, orphaned kittens who attached to her with a vengeance. She hasn't cried for kittens since. She no longer fears my husband's beard. She still does not like to be held.
