Sounds like Kit. He was our neighbor’s cat. Everyone on our street knew him. After his owner passed Kit spent his retirement years with us. By then he was blind and an indoor only cat. Like all cats, he was the best cat ever.

I made it to the labyrinth at Olympic and Flower, but church was in session and I didn’t want to bother them by walking it.
