We have had a lot of news in our world of cats.
The Old Princess who growled and swore at us, who purred and talked with people who walked by our front gate, well she became a different cat.
Thin, no matter how much she ate.
Then she didn't like to sit on the verandah any more.
She was inside a lot after that.
And when she came outside she did not see us when she walked past
and that frightened us more than her growls did.
One morning her spirit went away.
Anna came to say Goodbye and the Princess was laid among the Elder trees and She cried a lot and so did many other people when the News was told on our street.
And once or twice, princess visits in dreams, a young cats, beloved, looking for a pat and a kind word or two and for friendship..,,
