Meet the Cat of Strawberry Hill Separated from her original owners at a highway rest stop on a trip to Maine, a kitten is chased by a dog, injured in a fall, and attacked by a herring gull. Exhausted, she is rescued by two innkeepers, who decide to take her home to Rockport. The cat adapts quickly to her new surroundings and to this day rules the roost at Strawberry Hill;greeting guests, walking them down to the water's edge, eyeing chickadees at the inn's bird feeder, and generally entertaining both her adopted parents and their guests.
