Comments on: The Loneliness Of Schrodinger https://spitalfieldslife.com/2025/08/27/the-loneliness-of-schrodinger-ii/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:37:37 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Cherub https://spitalfieldslife.com/2025/08/27/the-loneliness-of-schrodinger-ii/#comment-1785986 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:37:37 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=204182#comment-1785986 I totally got the part about Schrödinger hiding behind a wing chair. My last cat Susie was a stray who’d been found by a work colleague who couldn’t keep her as he had 2 other cats. It seems she’d belonged to an elderly gentleman but he’d sadly died and the family put Susie out on the street, the vet told me she was about 2.

When we took her home with us she was so afraid she spent the best part of 4 days hiding behind our livingroom sofa, then she came out and slowly began to trust us. She lived for another 12 years and I was devastated when she had to be put to sleep as she was like a loving friend, especially when I had a serious illness and was bedridden for long periods.

If I had known that my neighbours would simply give away their cat CHICO, who had already shown me his trust by visiting me every day, I would have adopted him immediately. Now he is so far away…

An animal like him is a true blessing in these hopeless times, when even your ‘friends’ disappoint you. Fortunately, there are still true friends, such as the birds, whose joy at their daily food makes ME happy too!
 
Love & Peace

My current cat likes to spend her time reclining on the scanner that is behind the desktop computer. I think this is because the scanner is the size of a curled up cat, more or less. My mother’s cat preferred being a living centerpiece in the middle of the dining room table.

Very glad he eventually relaxed his cat pride & snuggled safely in your chair with you – so delightful company!

Leave them to discover for themselves that you are there to care for them and eventually – and it might take a long time – they will come to you and it will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
Not many animals are so lucky but Schrodinger met the right person and ended up with the life they deserved. Great story.

My cat, who we took from a rescue charity, still retains a sense of alertness and recognises change before it arrives. But she is loving and fine company, even if she can turn and bite without warning, and seeks me out every evening after a day going about her business. It is a situation that suits us both. Please give Schrodinger a respectful nod from me next time you pass.

He could even be a descendant of Trixie who lived in the Tower with the Earl of Essex….
