Cats

I am asked about my relationship with cats. I have known many over my 22 years and have found them all to be wonderful companions. You may know of Traveller (the favorite horse of Robert E Lee). Traveller's best friend later in life was a cat named Tom. I am told that Walkabout Farm was home to an amazing cat named Goldie, who was the Queen of all good cats. She was 20 years old when she went over the Rainbow Bridge, quite an unusual age for a cat. Ace told me that she trained many dogs in her time and legend says she was well respected among all species, including humans, horses, ponies, dogs, other cats, chickens, ducks and goats. When one has a good soul it doesn't matter what species you are. She was much feared by mice, moles and rabbits as well as bumbling puppies. All at Walkabout Farm loved and miss her. Bullet, the white dog, was her special friend. I am sorry not to have known her, but she lives on in the tales handed down from those who did.
