The little one who wouldn't take No for an answer...

Some months ago, A woman well know for neglecting her animals, moved house and abandoned a tiny Jet black kitten aged approx 10 weeks old. She began to appear every night when I went out to the foxes because she knew there would be food there. She was pitifully thin and so nervous that she would not come near me. One night, she was so hungry, she pounced on the fox food and I stood and watched astonished as she wrestled a chicken leg out of a Vixens mouth and won.
I gradually got round her, and she began to let me stroke her and then pick her up in my arms and cuddle her. I hated leaving her out there all night but had no choice as Mulder who thinks he's a Rottwieler was having none of It. If he saw her in the garden, he would charge her with full intent of doing her harm. Many a cross word went between myself and Mr O at my suggestions to bring her into the house. He has just had too many years of my adopting odd strays for what was meant to be a short time until they were re-homed, only to have them for life.
My elderly neighbour was letting her sleep in his conservatory during the day but didn't want to encourage her due to the amount of nesting birds he has in his garden and prized Koi Carp in the pond.
The weather started turning so I put blankets under the second car for her and fed her under there to keep the rain off her.
Mulder did his damndest to deter her, spitting, snarling, growling and charging her but she was not giving up.
As each night went by, she got nearer and nearer to the front door. Mulder could see her through the glass and suffered many a headache after charging and banging his head on the glass.
Well, she's finally won. I opened the door tonight to go out to the foxes and as I opened the door, she strolled in as if she owned the place.
