Great Cats From My Past
"Dolly" was
rescued from under the wheels of a taxi during rush hour, one
morning on my way to work. My co-workers at the newspaper all
said what a doll she was, but I ended up taking her home. She
lived with us several years, but became very attached to an
older couple who always visited us. When their old cat died, and
Dolly was one of seven I had at the time, they took her home
with them. Dolly lived in the lap of luxury until she quietly
died one night in her sleep at about 17 years old. The couple
also took another cat, Crystal. She was brought to me with a
horribly broken hind leg by a neighbor child who said if I didn't
take the cat, his father was going to shoot it. After several
surgeries, she walked without a limp and lived to be 14 years.
