Dear Constant Reader,
Twelve years ago today a huge, somewhat scruffy white cat with a rakish scar across his nose walked into our life and changed it forever.
Albert A. Cat touched many people in his time with us, some of whom never even met him.
This is the second Albert Day without our handsome boy. I miss him every day.
If you wish to honor our distinguished gentleman, be kind today. Tell the people and creatures you love that you do. Enjoy your food. Take a nap with a friend. Donate to a cat rescue or shelter or MSPCA Angell Hospital. Treat yourself to the traditional Albert cakes (vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting and shredded coconut on top).
But mostly, be kind.
