Carry

• Romeo inspires her adoption from the local shelter — moves in on March 3, 1993
• Chosen after scratching her future mother at the shelter — wild meets wild
• Settles in fast
• Always present when something happens
• Steps between fighting neighborhood tomcats, strikes both, and restores order
• Stops the human child’s whining with a clawless slap
• Races through the house, up and down the stairs like a rocket
• Comes when called — for example, climbs over the garden fence and is there within seconds
• Curiosity leads to being locked in at the same neighbor’s home more than once
• Joins her humans on walks along the street and walks back with them
• Accepts affection from strangers beyond the property
• Accepts dry food only
