She has diabetes. The little teddy bear near her is Ashley. I didn't plan from the start to have a cat while I was at college. Cinders is really really dumb, and nobody wanted to put up with owning her anymore. She's actually been a nice cat to have.
Cinders is pretty dumb for a cat.
You don't have to be around her for very long to notice this. When i first got her, she was totally fascinated with walls. It seemed like she didn't know what they were at all. Then she would slowly look up until she was looking straight up the wall at the ceiling. Then she would sit like that and stare for a while more.
