My girl has guessed at Nuri’s past before they had met in the shelter: Nuri must have had a litter of kittens. Nuri knew she was pregnant and yet, Ali only saw Nuri. No one knows what happened to the kittens. No one at the shelter could tell Ali anything other than they suspected Nuri had some kittens. Nuri hasn’t said anything about them other than to mention she was pregnant. Nuri still doesn’t like tom cats to this day, but will tolerate a fixed one.
Ali does suspect that someone threw Nuri out on the street for one reason or another. Nuri does worry about it sometimes even now after she has lived with Ali for quite a long time. Ali can see that Nuri acts afraid she will get abused again. Ali keeps reassuring her and praises her whenever Nuri asks for food or attention or playtime. Ali keeps encouraging Nuri to do so.
Of course Nuri has a right to ask for food, love and playtime from her girl. It’s the agreement cats and humans make when they agree to live together.
