The cat was very shy at first, but she was hungry enough to approach Ida when she tried to feed her.
Ida started calling her daily visitor “Salami”.
Little sausages on the way
Over time, Ida started noticing that her kitty friend was getting big – and not just because of the snacks she was getting. The stray was clearly pregnant with kittens!
But no matter how hard Ida tried to gain Salami’s trust in order to take her to the vet, the cat just wouldn’t let herself get caught.
The family you choose
Despite this, it seems that Salami trusted Ida enough to share her big day with her. When she was about to pop, she stood behind Ida’s front door, meowing loudly.
When Ida opened up, Salami stepped right in, made herself at home, and by the next morning, there were four more little cats in the house.
Ida spent lots of time during the coronavirus lockdown finding the perfect homes for the little cats she is affectionately calling “deli meats”. And Salami, of course, will be staying with her. What a beautiful ending for this lovely little family!
