Lucky lives in the Shop at ACE. That alone qualifies her as a badass. She curls up on seats of heavy machinery and sleeps. She bothers the guys who work out there as often as she pleases.She likes to sit on their shoulders while they work. Every so often she gets the urge and manages to sneak her way out of the Shop, into the parts area of the building. She never wants to go any further! She just likes to sit on the parts counter or my dad's desk, right where you can't use the computer without petting her.
In the springtime she spends a lot of time in the Greenhouses, where she is something of a celebrity. I've noticed that women and children are drawn to her, talking to her and petting her, but men go absolutely nuts about her and spend the whole time their significant other (or whoever else dragged them in there) is shopping. They find bits of string or wiggle their fingers so she gets wild and chases them.
She is naturally small in stature, with a short tail. She can be counted upon to be covered in dirt and grease and small wood chips from the chainsaw testing log where she rolls around.
People come in and out of the shop door often, plus the large garage doors are open a fair bit of the time, so she comes in and out as often as she pleases. She likes to sleep on the bags of lawn mowers out in the sun and has a couple nest-like locales inside the Shop.
Years ago, she had a small litter of kittens- Betty and Bobby, who now live with my dad. So she's getting older, but you'd never guess it. She RUNS the whole rental yard!
Just thought I'd tell you about our friend.
