She’s been with us for six years
She had been born in a school
Was separated from her mother
Way too soon
She’s a orange ball of fluff
She’s our cat
Absolutely beautiful
Stunning
When she came
Her ears were huge
Larger than her head
She looked like a bat
She has piercing green eyes
Sometimes they look deep blue
She talks all the time
Has learned quite a few words
Is mischievous and curious
She’s my angel pie
Her name is Max
That’s a very long story
These days she’s around more than not
Following me around
Or just hanging out
At night when we exercise on the terrace
She sits up on a table
Watching
Overseeing
She spends much of her day
On the terrace
Sleeping and resting
At night she comes in
To sleep
Usually in the sitting room
In the morning
She expects to be greeted
With a good morning
Every day she has her treat
Of yogurt
Before eating, she smiles
She’s part of us now

She’s my angel pie
