“Perhaps one reason we are fascinated by cats is because such a small animal can contain so much independence, dignity, and freedom of spirit.” Lloyd Alexander

When I decided to make an art quilt of my cat, Kali, I pulled fabric in the colors of her fur. Then I thought, “I already have a photo of her. I don’t really need to make a quilt that looks just like the photo.” So, I put back the browns and pulled out purples and blues. I’m kind of glad that Kali’s fur wasn’t actually purple and blue. But inside, she was very colorful! And I miss her.
Here’s to remembering our past pets who we loved and who loved us.
