From Ruff Start Rescue

Theodora (Ted) started her life in rescue as a demure, quiet young lady who was too clever to be trapped, but allowed herself to be hand-caught while nursing. Her stunning intelligence often leads her to watch the goings-on in the house with intense concentration, and she absolutely learned a great deal by her observations. Once, when dinner was late and her foster was refilling the dog treat container, she walked in front of a cat-loving dog, took a treat, made a growl of triumph, and delivered the meaty reward to her meowing sibling. She repeated the process until every cat had a chicken treat. Her foster traded the dog treats for appropriate kitten food, of course. Theadora has no patience for rude dogs, but will share space with calm and respectful canine companions. Ted loves all games that her foster has devised, and now watches television waiting for ‘prey’ to come across the screen. She might seem reserved, but has learned to accept pets and scratches as long as no one gets grabby hands. She accepts strangers in the house, but they must earn her approval before they will be graced with the honor of giving her pets or treats. As for other cats, it took a bit of time for…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
