#13: My Beloved Familiar

"Throughout history people have linked cats with things they don't understand. In earlier times cats were associated with deities. Later they were thought to be allied with devils." ~ John Richard Stephens, author of The Enchanted Cat


The Familiar: The definition of the word familiar according to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary is: an intimate associate, COMPANION; to be frequently seen with; a spirit often embodied in an animal and held to attend and serve or guard a person.

Draven has been with me since he was a baby, and is turning a ripe 15 years of age on October 31st. Of course. He is not doing so well right now, and I fear that he is not long for this world. Please keep him in your kitty prayers. He has served me well, my heart will have a new break that may never heal.
