Cassie.

Right here. She is, she is.

Cassie, the miracle cat who leaped up from the snow and followed Michael home and whom Sharon snarfed away to be especially safe and warm with her and the Queequeg, of all people, whom she kind of adored from her haunts up above him on bookshelves, in closets and even right alongside his nose sometimes. One magical Christmas Mary came to visit and she and the Wigster went to Chicago for the holiday, but Cassie got to stay there after New Years where she and Mary can look out the window at the flowers and play and she can make her VERY OWN MESSES of the very special candy dishes and NOT sit on the couch and get brushed and pet and hog ALL the attention all these things that Cassie doesn't very much mind, those she is very broken about the not having the Wigster, as it turns out and she's all torn without Sharon, but she used to see both of them on holidays and she still sees Sharon. She still sees the Wigster, but she doesn't tell too many people. He always comes to visit her and they fight and talk about why they fight and how they secretly loved each other all along. She just wishes he were always there and not just in spirit -- but she'll never tell. Neither will he.

But, Cassie's a smiling girl, especially when the family is all together like today when Sharon is in Chicago. But she loves being Mary's cat and they are just right together. They always knew that. Two very particular and pretty women who know what they want before they even think it and followed their hearts and their minds which lead their feet and bodies to each other. They knew they were on the right path. They just had to believe in themselves and keep going. The right place wasn't far away. Love was everywhere, and it just kept getting better.

Oh--incidentally, I heard, that one time, Ms. Cassie was sitting up in her perch at Sharon's apartment and she was given some catnip and she was kind of rolling in it and she attained the knickname, "the catnip bird". That's a famous nickname of hers.
