Cats in
Sardinia
Marylin
My name is Marylin and I am about
six
years old.
I was a stray cat in Torre delle Stelle, scavenging for
food in rubbish bins to survive.
The situation was particularly grim in the winter, when I could search for
hours and find nothing. Then one day I found myself at the Alchimissa
B&B, and there I stayed!
I have been here
for two years but I am still wild, so I don’t usually allow people to touch
me except, occasionally, Lucia and Vale. I can’t help it, even if I like
people making a fuss of me! I don’t know what I am afraid of. If somebody
stretches their hand towards me I scratch them or run away.
In the evening, when the dogs’ meat is prepared in the kitchen, I climb onto
the windowsill and start a funny dance, rubbing myself against the window
pane. When they give me food I allow them to stroke me. You probably won’t
see me in the garden, I am always hiding in some corner!
