Excuse me if you already have this post. We always have a cat in our house, or if we don't quickly seek another. Like ours, Pye will have had his own world. Our present cat is called Prydwen, welsh for Fairface, but black, not white like that lovely photo in your 'Notes'. I don't know if you like people to share poems but I have one from my collection "My Birder" (printed by VoleBooks). My birder was my son and loved our cats:
So, so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog and Pye. It's so heartbreaking to lose these members of our family. Just crushing. Sending a cup of tea and a hug.
Hi Wendy - I sympathise with you over the loss of two of your beloved animals! I’ve just become a paid subscriber but can’t see how to enrol on ‘Telling your Story’ - Eventbrite only shows the pay option.

Mindfulness
Prydwen answers to my keening
and comes to claim my lap.
She knows to leave me weeping
as she prowls the breakfast table
and knows my arms will lift her
to place her plump black body
on my lap. She knows to nudge
my hand, resting by her head,
so I caress beneath her chin
and feel my shoulders settle
at her insistent back throat rumble.
She knows how long she wants
my hand to stroke her back
and pick out the flecks of white
that cause her coat to shimmer.
She knows when I am ready
so she can stretch her paws
to regain the table; knows
I will reach out and lift her,
lower her gently to the floor.

Stay safe, Richard
