BY RENA C. WINTERS This is a tale about love and how it comes in various ways and packages. A friend asked one day if I wanted a rescue cat. No, not really. I didn’t want any pets at this time. The rescued cat was declawed and small. The lady’s two cats attacked this intruder unmercifully. She began to ask everyone she knew if they wanted a cat. Two months went by and I entered the salon where I work early one morning. I heard a cat crying. I searched the entire salon and could not find a cat. The crying was loud and persistent. I went outside and walked around the building to see if there was a cat in distress. I couldn’t locate a cat. The very next day my friend invited my husband and I to dinner. At dinner, she explained she had not found a home for the extra cat and was desperate to relocate her. I finally agreed to take the cat home. Somehow I couldn’t get over the fact that it was a strange coincidence that this occurred just the next night after the day I had heard a cat crying so veraciously at work. I thought she had solved the cat problem long before our dinner. This cat, Love, actually her given name is Lovey, attached herself to me. I didn’t think Lovey was a very exotic name. After time, we realized that whoever named her got her name right. She is extremely loving. Love has also proved to be a safety feature in our house. One night after we had gone to sleep, she awakened me to a foreign smell that was coming from somewhere on the premises. Love and I checked from room to room, and could not locate the aroma of gas until finally she sat down, looked up at the stove, and refused to move. That’s when I realized that a burner was slightly ajar. Love saved my life and I saved hers. She is an adored Diva in our home. I believe that destiny brought her to me. We belong together. Why would I have heard a cat crying that day in the salon? I definitely heard one; loud and clear.
