"Our" cat died! The black-and-white female alley cat that seemed to love our backyard (last summer, she would stretch out on the window sill; this summer, we put the air conditioner in that window, so she took to stretching out on the back porch) was just run over as she was rushing across the street. She seemed to have a favorite among the kittens, a little grey-and-white kitten, and the two of them used to play on the little beach chair Larry left in the backyard. Our neighbor, Annette, took to trying to feed those cats, and she tried to get the black-and-white cat to play with the little rubber ball....

But that cat was run over this morning. I wonder where the little grey-and-white kitten is.
