i once had the most cosmic cat in the universe. she was white with blue eyes who had lived feral for about two years in the rocky mountains when we adopted her. i expected her to run off but she liked the food and heat and the freedon from raiding eagles. a lot of her feral kin were eagle food, but she was white and in the snow it was great cover.

anyway, she would roam up the ten miles on occasion but almost always came home within the day and never stayed away for more than two days.

among her many feats she was able to predict our daughters epileptic seizures. she would warn us and we had a natouopathic cure that had to be adminstered before the seizure, kids of course don't notice the onset, they don't notice needing to pee in advance, but the cat figured it out and she never had a seizure again, after she learned this trick she never left our daughters side. spent her time watching for signs, even slept on a shelf above her bed.and she stopped roaming. the kid made a complete recovery from the complications which can be serious for the very young.

smart cat,and well loved,she lived to 18 . i was living in revelstoke bc then, the last time i was back i saw a dozen white cats in our neighbourhood, all her offspring i think.
