On October 1, 1997, I drove up to Eden, NC after work to my coworker’s home, where she had been keeping a tiny, scrawny kitten who had turned up in the gutter. I figured Aremid would want a buddy. I was wrong. He’s always hated her. So I’ve had to make sure to give her extra-TLC to make up for that. She’s also diabetic, so I have to give her stinky Fancy Feast everyday; it eliminates the need for insulin. But it’s really, really stinks. Anyway, I forgot her “birthday” on September 1, so I shall celebrate my time with Z now…
