Sounds like Kit. He was our neighbor’s cat. Everyone on our street knew him. After his owner passed Kit spent his retirement years with us. By then he was blind and an indoor only cat. Like all cats, he was the best cat ever.

My latest cat square is Ba’a Ba’a. He moved from Canada to Oman with his family. Turkish Airlines deemed him too fat to fly. He had to go on a diet. He was not happy. I gifted the square to his humans. #TheCatJoyProject
