My Sister-in-law asked her sister to "look after Jezebel should something happen" to her.
Because the universe is a fucked-up place "something" happened and we lost my Sister-in-law back in October.
Here we are driving from California to Illinois with Jezebel.
Weirdest fucking cat I've ever seen. In fact, the only way I know she's a cat is because Karla knew that we are cat people and wouldn't have asked us otherwise.
It will take us awhile to get over the loss, and I'm not sure if Jezebel is helping or hindering. But having her around sure has shaken up our world, and not necessarily in a bad way. The other cats also think she's weird but have come to accept her and, I'm sure, are thankful she hasn't horned in on their litter boxes because HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIZE OF SOME OF THOSE PILES SHE'S LEFT BEHIND IN THE YARD?!!?
