Handsome cat and relatable column. Our rescue Russian Blue cat, Arlo, was always friendly but never a lap cat. When my husband was diagnosed with cancer, however, that instantly changed. She became attached to his side, whether sitting or sleeping. She’s a true blue friend who continues to light up my life.

Thank you, Allison. I did not know about your husband. So sorry to hear.

J. Dudley Gilbert loved this piece about Francois. He wants to meet him. The first cat he met just looked at him, batted him with his paw, and walked away. Dudley’s feelings were hurt. Francois sounds like he might like to play.

Unfortunately, he’ll run and hide if he’s in the same house as a dog. Cats have an enormous instinct for self-preservation and Francois’s is at the top of the scale.
