Spice's Lively Flavor

Spice was personality plus. When she arrived as a rescue, she was timid. But as she learned safety, her true nature emerged: confident, curious, with clear preferences. She was intelligent and learned routines quickly, expecting them to be followed. She had a sense of humor, often doing things that seemed deliberately amusing, like pushing a ball down the stairs and watching it bounce. She was affectionate on her terms, enjoying petting but only when she initiated it. She formed a strong bond with me, often hopping into my home office and flopping under my desk as I worked. Her personality was indeed spicy—sometimes sweet, sometimes sharp, always interesting.
