Good for you!
And I never meant to end up with a cat, it is the result of a failed relationship. My cat loved me but hated my ex as much as I did and and it also didn't get along with the other cat my ex owned, so it seemed the only logical choice was for the cat to leave with me.
I actually tried to give her up twice but it never stuck, so I have resigned myself to the task of taking care of her.
