a long and unfortunate story and i probably dont remember much of the details now

so my sibling was leaving their work one day, overheard some people talking in the carpark about what they're gonna do with this cat, sib pipes up that they could take her in. it turns out these people had rescued the cat from a neglectful (possibly even abusive) neighbour

so sib gets the cat home, puts her in an animal enclosure sort of thing and food and water n stuff. sometime later that same day the cat ends up giving birth to a singular kitten (which indicates she possibly had given birth to others elsewhere :c ). eventually mum gets home and despite everything the cat is so affectionate and sweet, so mum dubs her "honey", and the kitten considering her colouration, "ash"

unfortunately they already had <i>many</i> pets/animals at the house, so was very unlikely to be able to keep them, especially as dad had been kinda getting a bit frustrated with how many animals my mum had been acquiring

meanwhile, i'd moved out like 6 months prior and was really missing ajani (my mum's cat who was my little buddy), and it was the first time in my life living in a place without any pets. fortunately my flatmate and landlord were alright with the idea of it, so honey moved in and it's been over 2 years now

(ash is actually still living with them, it's funny seeing how ajani's become a bit of a grouch now)
