I think I will never look at a cloud with indifference again. It will contain my white labrador Choco in it.

I'll keep an eye out for a choco-shaped cloud too :-)

Just finished reading The Chinese Wiskers. I was googling you and your real cats from which tofu and Soyabean were inspired. ( also I like to visualize characters ) I came upon your this post which made me little sad but in the end after reading this article made me realize that tofu lived a very happy life with her loving hoomans.

My next read will be Jakarta tails which I bought first without knowing there was a prequel, because I bought the book clearly because of the cover and really good illustrations in it.

Thank you for this lovely message. I hope you enjoy Jakarta Tails too! Caramel is now almost 19 and in bad shape- but we cuddle every day and try and make each one count .

What a lovely essay and I'm not sure any cat is ever wholly ours. Then again, maybe nothing is. We just get to borrow part of them -- and they of us -- for our short time together.
