We have two cats that basically live in our backyard. They are most definitely feral. One was already neutered, and one we trapped and got fixed. They are a bonded pair and our vet recommends letting them stay outside cats given our inside cat. We feed them twice a day, they have lots of places to stay out of the rain. However, in the last week we have had a dead hummingbird and a lizard outside our front door. How can we discourage this behavior?

Just did a reread and it struck me that Anne is described as being “very pretty” with “elegant features.” I don’t understand how someone would look so different between 19 and 27. Maybe I’m looking at it through a modern lens? What is “bloom?” Was it the societal worries of spinsterhood driving a perception of lost beauty?

With many adaptations casting (comparatively) plain actresses, I’d forgotten that the book describes her as very pretty, but with lost bloom.

How do you all picture her? Any actresses come to mind?

P.S. I’m not trying to talk badly about Amanda Root or anyone whose played her.
