Yellow Cat has gone away. She was possibly the greatest survival expert in Dallas County. She was the master of survival. My neighbors with whom I share a quarter mile lane moved away after 15 years. They took everything...except Yellow Cat.
Caring Kim, Granddaughter #1, and I were driving down the lane when we discovered that cat was still hanging out. The girls stopped, picked up the yellow fur ball and brought her into the house. Ten minutes and one bowel movement later she was back at her old stomping ground with a container of lunch meat.
My dogs and I walked past her protected area each day. My dogs wanted to eat Yellow Cat but she never even offered a flinch. She fears no dog. Each day for over a year she somehow found food, water and shelter. She was amazing.
Without fanfare new neighbors moved into the remolded farm house (another blog or two). I didn't necessarily react to new folks living at the end of the lane but I noticed our furry friend was gone.
When new folks move in I must adjust. Yellow Cat just moves on and chooses different neighbors.

Hoping Yellow Cat will start a blog so we know how life is treating him/her. Perhaps there will even be a comment or two about the thoughtful man who wanders about in the early morning hours. Your blog is thoughtful and thought provoking, John.
