Homecoming, by Kitty
Spooky was Mama C's cat most of the time, particularly during the night, when he would sleep on her bed. But Mama M was the earlier riser, and every morning when she would awaken, Spooky would be sitting on the floor beside her bed. He would follow her into the bathroom and wait for her to use the facilities. Then he would stretch his paws up as high as he could for Mama M to reach down, pick him up, and carry him into the kitchen for his breakfast. This routine continued for four years, until Mama M left Richmond to go away to graduate school.
Lo and behold, when Mama M returned for summer break and again when she returned after graduating to work again in Richmond, both times to different apartments, Spooky greeted her each morning with upraised paws as though she had never been away. What a delightful homecoming present!

Neighborhood Cats Loved Mama M
Mama M's house was on top of a high hill, with a narrow flat front yard that suddenly dipped and ran downhill to the street. The yard was covered in grass and trees, mostly tall pines. The driveway was also steep and required quite a bit of effort in walking. So Mama M would stop at the mailbox for the day's post before driving up and parking in the carport next to the kitchen door.

Kitty Can Write
I am a journalist--have been since 9th grade. I've practiced journalism on newspapers, magazines, newsletters, public relations releases, judging, and all manner of ways. I've taught journalism, particularly writing and editing, at the university level. I'd like to teach YOU how to be a journalist, specifically how to write in an organized, clear, correct, and interesting style. If you would like to learn, contact me.
