PATCHES WAS SUCH A 'MAMA KITTY' IF I WAS SICK...SHE WAS SICK. IF I WAS A BIT LAZY..SHE WAS LAZY ,TOO. IF I WAS GONE SHE WOULD WAIT IN THE WINDOW..BUT WHEN I WENT TO WORK, WHICH WAS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET(SAME SIDE OF THE STREET) PATCHES WOULD JUMP ON THE RESTAURANT WINDOW SILL AND REMAIN THERE UNTIL I NOTICED HER. SHE'D STAY WITH ME THROUGHOUT MY SHIFT...SITTING SO PRETTY..SILENTLY MEOWING THROUGH THE THICK WINDOW PANE..I'M GOING TO MISS MY 'PATCHY'. CHRISTOPHER, MY GRANDSON IS 4 YRS. OLD AND HE WILL MISS HIS DANCING PARTNER.
