re: #183 klys

I admit, I do approach strange cats regularly. I’m also careful in how I do it, always giving them control over the last bit of the approach and not forcing contact.

Given how some of my cats react to strangers, I’ve learned.

I used to have an adorable little black cat who would go absolutely nuts and attack without much warning. We eventually had to completely declaw her so I could handle her without having my hands shredded.

Most of the time she was the most dedicated and affectionate cat I’ve ever known. Unfortunately cancer took her life a few years ago.
