Brenda, I know how much you miss Milo. He was a very wise cat for choosing you as his person.

We were lucky enough to have a wise cat, Tucker, who saw me through some very rough times. He always knew when I was scared or sad. He'd come in, stare at me (wisely), purr and then roll over on his back with his paw over his heart, showing me how much he trusted me and loved me.

Too bad he was actually the next door neighbor's cat because when they moved they took him away. But he was a wanderer, and I still expect to see him come running to greet me when I come home.

Now that Bill built this campfire, maybe Tucker will come join us and bring us kitty-comfort.
