Pele

Pele lived with mom for 20 years and joined the family as an adult cat, lost or abandoned at the Wild Animal Park.
She died this week, having lived a good, long life in the company of dogs that outsized and outweighed her many times over. But she never flinched when they barked, snapped or towered over her, and she often slapped them good for their trouble.
We didn't really like each other, but in the end, Pele judged me "tolerable" and I'll miss the kooky old thing.
