In short: * Many of the wifeable women of suburbia dabble in some light cutting, because their parents don't provide the proper handling, care, and enclosure.
"Cutters", when on the light side, tend to be far more chaste and near-traditional in their upbringing, and their hearts are wounded and malleable. Pick one up and you're more likely to find a kitty with 1 or less "prior owner", and if you can help her be the person she wants to be then she'll stick to you with a near religious fervence.
Girls cut for a few reasons but it's like eschewing a dog because he's a "digger". In actuality, her owners don't know how to care for her so she's acting out. Quiet cutters are best. They might open up after a while with you and it gives you a major toehold in straightening out her life. You're rehabbing her at that point, you're clear in supporting her and ridding her life of this "addiction". She'll try to abuse it for your attention too much, complex and delicate dance if you want her to turn out well but it can be done.
