Today I said goodbye to another piece of my heart that I am leaving in Devon. This unremarkable scrap of grey fuzz has been my companion for the last 8-years and has seen me through thick and thin. I scooped her up from a farm on the edges of Dartmoor when she was a tiny kitten, where her fate was sure to be a less than an attractive one.
To others, she must seem to be a very ordinary cat - with few redeeming qualities. She won't be picked up, she doesn't play, she has not been known to hunt anything larger than a cricket and tends to run away from, everyone.
Nevertheless in private and with it seems only me, she is the most loving creature who subtly communicates herself with a continual purr whenever we are alone together. I shall miss her immensely.
