"Bitch was my 1st cat. I got her when I was 16 years old. My girlfriend Jean (she named the cat) and her friend Maggie ran away from home & she gave me Bitch to care for. • I had Bitch for 16 years. She was 16 & I was 32 when she died. • Despite her name, Bitch was a sweetheart. Maybe it's like the first love, but she has always been my favorite pet. Her attachment to me was more like a dog than a cat. • My mom called Bitch "Bitsy" because she did not like swearing."
