My Cat, Sophie

This is my beautiful cat, Sophie deciding politely whether she’s ready to come indoors. I rarely mention my cat, it’s always about the dog, Stanley. as he’s so present. Sophie was the first, the original, selected as a feral kitten from the RSPCA long before we thought about having children. She was the most unassuming, timid creature who took a lifetime to build trust but once she did was totally and completely loyal. At fifteen she was still bright and healthy but there must’ve been an underlying heart problem as she died suddenly last night. We’re all very sad in our house. People often suggest I should write about dogs but you don’t have to be a dog or a cat lover; you can be both x
