It may take some time for her to come to trust you and bond with you, but once she does, she will be absolutely essential! When I've had a harsh day (and most of them are, for me and for just about everyone I know) the love and loyalty of my sweet cats takes the sting out and makes every evening something I look forward to. I work at/from home, so I get visits throughout the day, but the evening and the night are the best times, with them. I take my dinner tray in to the bedroom and watch TV with them before we all curl up for the night. I have insomnia so it's really hard to sleep sometimes, but knowing they are here with me just makes me feel better.
