Ode to Kitteh
Once I read a very sad story about a stray cat with one eye..
She was beat up from years of living on her own, as I can recall. As a result, everyone avoided this ugly cat. If she tried to come near someone, they would shoo her off with whatever means they could. At one point, an aggressive dog (we'll assume) got loose, found her, and nearly killed her. As she lay on the ground, someone happened to be walking by, and when she looked up at him with her one eye, he knew he couldn't leave her, so he picked her up to take her home. As he was holding her, she started purring, for the first time in years, despite all the pain she was in. She died not too long afterwards, but she must have been happy, because she was loved.
Cats never purr when they're alone.. only when they're in someone's presence. I always think of that when Skittles purrs.
