Bianca

It looks like we’ve lost another cat. This time we know what happened to it and it is not good news.

I won’t provide all the details. Suffice to say our neighbor on the corner of Rodney and Kris found half of a cat in their yard yesterday morning. The police forensic people were called because they thought some kids mutilated the cat. It turns out an animal, fox, coyote or dog got the cat. It probably got interupted and could only carry off half of the cat--thus the other half on the neighbor's lawn.



They described the cat as white with orange with a cropped ear. I think our cats are the only ones around here like that and Bianca has not been here for the past 2 days.

Once again I’ve lost my favorite. Bianca was the one that would crawl up on my lap, sit in my arms and look up at me as if I was the most wonderful person in the world. Her downfall likely was her tendency to freeze, lying on her back and howling when faced with danger.

We try to keep the cats safe and provide a little human kindness for them. It’s the best we can do. As far as I know I’m the only human they trust enough to let touch them. I worry that because I am nice to them they might let others get close. When we thought the cat was killed by people I thought that was how they got it.

I’m going to miss Bianca. I’m going to have to quit choosing a kitty as my favorite.
