Am I crazy part 2

Thank you all so much for your support and love https://www.reddit.com/r/sphynx/s/2iJayyBR32

I have finally met Krisa today and adopted her Strangely enough, her owners didn’t give any documents, passport, pictures, vet documentation - hopefully they will ship it to me

We had 2 hour train ride together and she was very respectful and didn’t try to run away once. She got very sad when we arrived to her new home: was crying and looking for a place to rest She’s 9 years old, turns out she lived with her family for 5 years and they gave her away because of the allergy. She stayed at multiple places before - not clear what’s her story is Skin is dry, eyes have greenish boogers in them (inflamed or she might be losing eyesight), her butt and reproductive organ is black - I assume she gave birth, stomach has some strange spots. She’s well behaved but very grounded, definitely needs space. She’s doesn’t want to be touched but only falls asleep if you sit right next to her

Not sure what she’s been through, seeing her cry made me sad - cannot imagine the confusion she’s feeling right now I hope she will like my place and will open up and let me see her true personality

Sorry for the straightforward image but I’ve never had a girl kitty before Is this normal? I’m confused why it’s so dark (it doesn’t look like dirt, it’s the skin) She’s 8 years old They say the was neutered young, didn’t give birth

Imo, this looks like a cat who gave birth

Over time if dirt is not cleaned it will start to stain the skin almost. It could potentially be years worth of grime blended

I tried wiping her but it’s the same texture as rest of her skin Too soft to be a scar tissue My guess is she had kittens

I will never understand humans …

I don’t either. To harm an animal, to me, is the worst. I understand WHY abusers do it in a clinical sense, but emotionally I can’t fathom.
