Six weeks ago my daughter-in-law brought a stray home from
work, concerned it might not survive the coming winter weather. We’ve been
calling the cat Toulouse after a kitten in a Disney movie. We checked for a
microchip (she doesn’t have one) and put her description in an online forum in
case she was someone’s lost pet. In six weeks no one has called looking for
her. It’s been nearly four years since
we had a cat in the house. I must say I hadn’t missed the litter box. I didn’t
miss the shredding of carpets and upholstery in the pursuit of the perfect
feline manicure. I’d forgotten cats like to sleep all day so they have energy
to keep you awake all night. So why do people keep cats? That’s easy. Because
once in a while a cat will decide to curl up in your lap and PURR.
