Always a dog person, I’m thinking of what goes on behind the inscrutable cat face. Maybe I was influenced by the decerebrate cat preparation presented to us students at the London Hospital ie the cat as automaton. We also never had cats as family pets. Thanks.

How I miss that, except through memory. Your writing was a welcomed reminder.

I had a 6 month period where I was mainly bedridden, she rarely left me. Animals definitely know when you are ill and in pain or distress.

Sadly Susie had to be put to sleep 7 years after my recovery, but our kind vet let us spend time alone with her before he gave the injection, it was very precious to be able to say goodbye. I sometimes dream of her and she tells me in cat speak not to worry because she is free from pain and happy.

Schrodinger is a very handsome fellow, but so was Mr Pussy.

Cats have a way of of knowing how one feels, and I can just feel the touch of that paw as I felt it similarly from my own beloved cat Bertie (known affectionately as ‘the Bertol’), also a beautiful black & white fellow. Sadly he passed away in the Spring of 2020, a great loss during Lockdown.

Schrodinger, however, looks in the best of health and very much at home in your charming Spitalfields surroundings. Oh lucky cat, having landed on all four paws!
Lovely photographs. And yes, also love the ‘coverlet’.
You write beautifully – may you both flourish in peace.

How and what they know is a mystery, buy they feel something. From the picture you posted yesterday, I can tell he is even more at home now than a few months ago. Lucky Schrodinger and lucky you.

A beautiful piece, GA, keep well.

But I am sure his playful and serene countenance is due to his companion and roommate. You have made him the cat his is today just as he has made you the gentle author you are.

I am so intrigued with that coverlet.

Is there a story or history to that coverlet? Will you share it?
