Old Cat

 


Albert is not a cuddly cat
He has never sat on my knee.
He has never slept curled up next to me in bed.
He is aloof and remains very much a supporting actor in the everyday life of the cottage but just occasionally he will have a sudden rush of the affections and will rub heads energetically, like he did this afternoon as I was reading a book.
He’s fourteen years old 
A good age for a cat 
I didn’t realise that he was quite so old.
He purred as we head butted each other and for the very first time in fourteen years he let me kiss him gently on the cheek.
