Our cat was a rescue as well -- there's a lot of that in this thread! She was part of Petco's traveling bandwagon of cat adoptions, where they bring a dozen or so rescued felines into the store on a particular day of the week.
The information they gave us stated that she was "abandoned," but that could indicate any scenario from "owner died" to "found sheltering in the storage area of a department store." There was no further information on her personal history, and I always wonder what her life was like before she moved in with us.
I'm going to guess she fuzzed up the pillowcases in other people's linen closets though, for starters. Just a hunch.
