Poetry Writings Artwork and stories from Neil Furby

I heard from my daughter who heard from her x boyfriend that Pinot our family cat had died three months ago.

 

Why the x C had left it this long to inform of Pinot’s demise I do not know.

Perhaps he felt guilty, as we had left him to look after Pinot and Noir the two black cats who where twin brothers that were always together.

 

My daughter and her two daughters had to make a hasty retreat from the house she shared with C

This sudden departure came about after my daughter did something very silly on the evening of C’s father’s funeral, which made their future relationship null and void.

 

So the wash up was that the cats were left behind together with other loose ends, which can happen, in these tense situations

 

We had lot of fun times with these cats who where identical to look at but very different in behavior

They never got on with Jack the Jack Russell the family dog and he always crept around the cats always on the look out for the hiss and slap of claw on his small hind quarters

 

Farewell Pino 9 years old
