Four-Legged Comfort Thirteen Years Later

Thirteen years ago I saw the "Free Kittens" sign posted outside the secretary's office at my place of employment, Pensacola Junior College, where I was a college preparatory reading and writing adjunct, and I excitedly asked the secretary if the male tabby was still available and he was. 

I had been living alone for two years after a painful divorce and needed either a roommate or a cat and couldn't decide between the two but as soon as I met Henry I knew he was the better choice. 

As I write this post I am comforted to have him beside me and I know he feels the same way about me. We rescued each other, that's for sure!
