When I was a kitten I lived with Queen Midnight (QM). QM didn't have much to do with us younger cats, but one day I noticed her staring at me intently. "Chirp" I said quietly after a while. I hunched down, ready to run, but QM wanted to talk. "You remind me of my pal Genghis" she said (I guess because I have Siamese markings). Genghis is one of my favorites." She then told me all about Genghis, how he ran his own martial arts school, how he was active in CLAW, how he proposed to her a number of times (she said "no" only because she wanted to remain single). Genghis sounded like a really special cat. Because of what she told me that day, I have always
felt close to Genghis. Time has passed, QM has gone to the Bridge, and
now I hear that Genghis has gone there as well. I feel sad, even though
I never knew him. I know he will make a splash there just like he made
here, and that his many friends there will be happy to see him. |
