My beautiful Blue

When I took this photo I was wondering how Blue would be when Murron's puppy arrives at the weekend. He is easy going and affectionate and very much my cat. He follows me as I move around the cottage, when I stop he stops and when I settle myself down to work, he curls himself beside me. I never thought I would become so attached to a cat or that a cat could become so attached to me. I certainly never thought I could love an animal as much as I love Blue. Turns out I will never know how Blue would have adapted to having a puppy scampering about the cottage, because tomorrow he will be hit by a car and I will lose my little shadow.
