Cool Hand Luke, My Black Cat
Author: siggyCool Hand Luke is the only pet I brought into this marriage still alive. (August will be eight years I have been married.) There was “Slinky” and “Daisy”, a cat and dog respectively now both dead. Curiously all three animals are completely black.
Daisy was the first dog I raised from a pup and trained. I really missed her when she died over two years ago. Her eyes when I was in the same room never left me. Slinky was a sweet though timid cat who died recently from cancer.
Cool Hand Luke is appropriately named. She is one cool character, supremely confident and affectionate who lives in our bedroom. She always keeps me company when I go to bed.
She loves to go through doors. If I open our garage door (or any other door for that matter), she darts through the door even if I have it open only for seconds. She is the only cat with that trait if you want to call it that. She must be going on nine.
I have seven cats and four dogs and each has their own personality but Cool Hand Luke has a special place in my heart. She is one cool character.
