Thinking about Baby
Baby was a cat. It was 1974 and I'd sit out on the driveway at my parents
house as the sun was going down. This cat started coming around; I called her 'Baby'. She was a grey striped tabby; very skinny. I suppose you'd classify her as feral since she didn't ever have a home. She lived in the weeds on a stretch of land with a creek across the street from my parents house. But she loved me! She would come out in the evening and cross the street and curl up in my lap and purr. When I had to go inside around 9PM she'd wind herself around my legs and try to trip me up... anything to keep me from leaving! I do wish I'd been able to bring her in. It wasn't long after that she stopped showing up for a while. And the last time she did, her teats were full; she'd given birth and was busy taking care of her kittens. That was the last time I ever saw her. It was as if she came back just to say goodbye. Jill |
