Dad and Colima felt sorry for the poor thing, they had to give the dog to the neighbors, since they treated her better. Then another time, Dad give her a kitten and She loved that kitten. The kitten loved her back. He even followed her and protected her. She named him Manzillo, since he has a apple hairbow. When Mom was picking on her, the cat hissed at Mom, which scared her. Then The Dog God was taking it out on her when he wasn't chosen to be team captain at school, but Manzillo then attacked him to protect her and bit him. That made Matla real mad.

He even stated that Mom never wanted Colima to get anything. She lets Matla get what she wants, while she makes it clear that Colima get nothing. Mom then said that was because Colima was nothing. That was then Dad had had it. He said he had enough of it and that Colima was something, that Colima was his beautiful daughter. He also told Mom to never dare say Colima was nothing again. She just didn't care. That incident was the final straw. A few days after, there was when Colima had the whole day with Dad at the carnival. To add hope to her joy, he even said they go to the pound to check on Manzillo and see they can adopt him. They went there and saw that he was already adopted by a nice boy who cared about cats.
