It’s often easy to think about what we do for our cats because we love them. However, stories such as this one show us that the human-cat bond often goes both ways, with the kitties sometimes providing the necessary nudge for many to get up each day and engage fully with life’s challenges.
Today, I’d like to honor the memory of Dusty, by telling you the story of this 14-year-old grey and white kitty and best buddy of my friend, Nancy, who left her sight – but not her heart -- yesterday.
