My father Herb shared Mark Twain's affection for companion animals of the feline persuasion. As Twain said "A home without a cat -- and a well-fed, well-patted and properly revered cat -- may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove title?"
Sister Joyce, who shares her home with three inherited cats, forwarded the newspaper ad below, written by Herb. She recalls that Silver Shadow had a new home the day after the paper appeared, and plans to plagiarize the next time she has to find a home for a stray.
FREE!
"Silver Shadow"
a short-haired kitten of some sophistication who has fully recovered from her operation (which she does not wish to talk about) plus all the needles known to the ingenious veterinary fraternity; and now wishes to get on with her life. She is not above chasing a styrofoam ball down a spiral stairway or playing 'footsy' with a swinging C-cup. She enjoys quiet times by the fireplace or long rambles in mouse country; and has been described as "warm, affectionate and a-political". This side of omnivorous, she favours Hewitt's 2 % and the celebrated Purina mix commonly called "Meouw"...but is open to further suggestions.
She seeks a secure position with an upper-class family who claim their own tartan or an international equivalent. All expenses have been paid by a reluctant local philanthropist.
