Before we were married, my wife had a habit of taking walks around the town she lived. One time she was followed home by a stray cat. She was living with her parents at the time, and they gave the cat some food and let it go. On another walk in the opposite side of town, the cat finds my wife again and follows her home again. This time she got to keep the cat, which she named Zoe.
Now I understand that many women have what is called the "best friend" test for boyfriends. The test is as follows: early on in a new relationship, every boyfriend gets introduced to the woman's best friend, who is supposed to figure out how much of a jerk the boyfriend is and provide honest feedback in private back to the woman. The best friend's seal of approval is important for the continuation of the relationship.
Zoe tends to be shy and disagreeable around guys, so my wife decided that she (Zoe is female) would fill the best friend role for the best friend test. For every boyfriend she had, Zoe was disagreeable and mean, and would claw at them. But the first day I was introduced to Zoe, she climbed right into my lap and started purring.
