A Good Cat
Today Natasha, the cat who has been in my life since I was five years old, quietly passed.
I am sad but feeling mostly okay about it--she was eighteen (!!) years old, she has had a longer and better life than many cats get; and though I'm sad I had to be so far away when she died, I am grateful to have had her in my life at all. She was the beginning of my love affair with animals, and she gave us Philip and Annie (aka Stumpy). I am starting work on a comic about her.
