She's a former coworker.

So, were you surprised to hear the news?

Yeah, anything tip you off, Wolf? They couldn't have had a pleasant odor about them, that's for sure.

Somewhat. The condition is what's surprising, not the numbers.

I think it's been at least four years since she's worked for the nuthouse. She used to be just a mildly goofy catlady ... usually had between 5 and 10 in the house that she took excellent care of, and placed into good homes. She even had a deal with a vet that would do physicals, shots, spayings or neuterings at just the cost of the meds. Someone in my office still has one of her cats, and I know that there were quite a few others.

We also didn't expect her tendency to take in strays would extend to people.

She had a rough childhood. Most people mean they were sent to bed without dinner a couple times. This lady's life is like something from a Lifetime movie.
