Jezebel was my first female cat, and she's very bonded to me. I got her in Gainesville, too, when I worked at a cat clinic. She was a feral kitten that someone trapped and brought in, and she was very sick. When she was well, I took her home for a weekend to socialize her a bit so she'd be more adoptable. I don't know if you know much about feral cats, but they are pretty much wild for life unless you work with them early on. She was pretty old (4 months) when I got her, and very skittish, so when Skippy and Max adopted her as their own, Dave said she could stay. She's tamed down a lot, but is still wary of new people. With me, though, she's a purring, snuggling fool, and, at 5 years old, one of the most active adult female cats I've ever seen.
