Oh, that crazy woman story is terrible. Monks are usually wise, he might be right about karmic relationships. Too bad the poor little animals had to suffer that.
:(
Cats are very intelligent and intuitive beings, perhaps that's why the little black cat was so elusive. However, when she felt confident, she approached you and gave you her friendship.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. I was glad that crazy woman never came back. The monk was much relieved as she also poisoned several of his cats. He had to bury several dead cats.
I was glad to see more visitors feeding stray cats at the temple.
