Three days remain

This sweet girl is Cindy. She’s 20 years and six months old and she lives in Wales with my nan. They live in a quiet village, in a bungalow next to a farmers field. She spends her day watching the squirrels, cuddling and sleeping in warm spots. She may be old, slow and deaf but the other neighbourhood cats are terrified of her. We have no idea why. Cats who see her sunbathing in the garden will desperately try not to wake her from her slumber even though she barely gives them an uninterested look if they do. I see her as the kind old lady that will bake you cookies but the older people around you speak in whispers about her and the teens who egged her house one year and were never seen again.
