Pink Lady received this card from her Mom in 1979. She had taken a trip (to Iisalmi) and wrote about how it felt strange to be travelling alone.
This cat is a Himalayan - one of Pink Lady's fave cat breeds (yes, Pink Lady is indeed a cat person). A Himalayan is like a Persian cat but with the colouring of a Siamese. Soooo beautiful!
A cat a bit like this one (black-and-white and very flully - but not Himalayan) visited our home a couple of days ago. She literally followed Pink Lady's husband home. She was wearing a tag with the name and cell phone number of the owner. We called her and told her where her cat was - it's so much easier these days with cell phones....
Pink Lady's hubby really misses his old cats (he used to have 5!) and was asking if we could have a cat. Alas, Pink Lady is allergic. However, she has not given up hope. There are several alternatives:
- Perhaps medical science will develop enough so that there will be an injection that you can take to cure allergies.
- Perhaps Pink Lady's psychological state will improve so much that there will be no more need for disease (Pink Lady is a big believer in the mind-body connection). Pink Lady has recently all but given up dairy products. They apparently increase the production of mucus. Remains to be seen what the results of this experiment will be.
- Pink Lady and hubby's dream is to own an old farm house in Southern Europe (France, Italy or Spain - the debate continues). When this happens, it will at least be possible to have outdoor cats.
One way or the other, we will have cats again! :-)
