You can't escape the love of cats

Posted June 12, 2021 1:00 am

The editorial page column in the June 6 Daily Herald about men and cats was sweet and oh-so-true. A neighbor's feral kitten wandering in our yard discovered my husband and fell head over paws in love with him. She followed him whenever he was in our yard. The grey-over-white kitten had excellent instincts, because her four kitten siblings soon were hit and killed just days apart on nearby busy Roberts Road.

Named Mona, she now is an indoor cat only. And yes, Mona still clearly adores my husband. I'm just someone who puts cat food into her bowl. That's OK with me. At least, Mona survived, unlike her feral cat mother, who disappeared before her four kittens died.

I wish my husband and I could have saved and re-homed the rest of Mona's family.
