In 2008 we adopted 4 cats from the local shelter ages 2 years, 1.5 years, 1 year, and 6 months. Sadly we lost the oldest in 2019, but we had the other three until this summer when we lost the next two. One of those was Edwin, who was medium hair, white with brown tabby blotches, and always on the move so he stayed thinner than the others. He also had a cute face that reminded me of a fox’s face. I wrote this dance when we still had him but knew his time was limited. We lost him 2 months later at age 16.
