A Girl to Call His Own

At nearly 16 years, he is much, much older than she. She is aware that his life may not last many more seasons, and therefore takes every opportunity for love and cuddles. He's lived his entire life in the great outdoors, putting on thick coats of fur in Winter and shedding down to a minimum in the Summer. He has hidey holes in so many places, and favorite cat-nap spots that change with the seasons. He regularly munches on wild prey, but always away from the front porch, which suits us all just fine.

He had a brother and a dog to keep him company in his youth, but I think he is happiest now that he has his very own girl that loves him with her whole heart.
