Our dear old cat friend is no longer with us.
She lived in our street and was my first visitor when I rented our apartment last year.
In the beginning I thought she was not well cared for because she was so terribly skinny. After some time, however, I met the owner and she told me that her cat had always been very slender. Also I found out that the lady cat was very old and deaf.
Every time I walked into town I passed by her garden and whenever she was outside she came to greet me. I have a little basket that she loved. She would rub her back on it and purr and when she purred her whole ribcage trembled.
We greatly miss her and the way into town will never quite be the same.
May you be safe wherever you are and always have a few mouse to feast on.
