I prefer the 'independent-to-the-point-of-arrogance'type of Tabby, street-wise and cunning. The cat that likes to love and kill with the same abandon. Who leaves her trophy bird-wing or gizzard at my door mat. I had a cat named Lulu who became arthritic and moved painfully slow in about her 19th year: my father accidentally ran her over backing out of the driveway and buried her in the yard. I cried all day for the cat I passed through late childhood, adolescence and early adulthood with: I was 38.<br /><br />Our love of cats is strong.Conrad DiDiodatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312831623791642286noreply@blogger.com
