“Cool Hand Luke”, My Black Cat
Author: siggy“Cool Hand Luke”, my black cat I owned before even I married my wife. Nothing seems to faze her, thus the name. She is the only animal left from that period, nine years ago. She is one of the few cats who will cozy up to me. She is affectionate. She has some idiosyncrasies: she likes to go through doors. Open one, she will dash through and seconds later she might run back in. She also likes to knock down things in her way. Sometimes she will be on the window ledge and knock down everything in front of her. She does not get along too well with all the other cats (we have seven) although she can be aggressive. If you put out new cat food she is usually the first cat to hop on the counter. Oddly enough the other two animals I brought into this marriage were both black. I miss both of them, especially Daisy, the first dog I ever raised from a pup and also trained. When we were in the same room, her eyes never left me. She was my dog.
