Racer, the Neighbor's Cat

Homecoming is something we all face whether back to our own home or to visit others we have known and loved. Racer made me think of homecoming in terms of responsibility. Racer wasn't here when we came home. He didn't come to say hello, or to see what we were having for lunch. We worried. Where could he be? I felt terrible. I missed him. Our neighbor's cat, and I missed him.

Am I responsible for my neighbor's cat? You bet I am! He's a part of my world of living creatures. He speaks to me. OK, half the time he hisses at me, and he usually is here to ask "May Arnold come out to play?" Of course, that's what he says. I speak CAT, don't you?
