My cat has died. Probably. I found Pheobe in the woods around Huntsville, AL, when I was about 14 or 15 years old. We brought her to Florida with us when we came down in 1991. She lost a leg in an accident with a car a few years ago, and was nicknamed "Three-be" because of it. Here's part of the email from my dad. "I don't know if your mother told any of you or not, but we appear to have lost Phoebe. She had been poorly lately, eating and then shortly throwing up most of what she ate. Also, she had been spending most of her time outdoors, either lying on the streetside steps, just outside the cat door, or lying in an open empty garbage can that was on it's side out by the garage. About a week a go, she just stopped eating. I planned to take her to the Vet's on Monday (I was out of town the previous week) but on Saturday, your mother put some tuna in her dish in the evening. Phoebe ate about 3 bites, then just lay in front of the bowl for two or three hours. Then (about 10PM) she went outside. Sunday morning, she was nowhere to be found, and we have not seen her since. In ten years, she had never left the property, but she is apparently gone. I have looked under the house, and all around, to no avail, and have checked the Humane Society shelter. I suspect she is dead, somewhere. We'll miss her." If you're like me, and I know you are, then you have often been pouring over some arcane tome of forbidden knowledge, and you have come across some reference to a book that may (or may not) actually exist. Take the "Necronomicon", for instance. Sure, you can go to the local waldenbooks and pick up a paperback, but in reality, this book was never actually written. Or "Cultes De Ghoules", or "Fifty-Three More Things to do in Zero Gravity". The truth is, none of these books actually exists. And here's where you can find them. http://www.invisiblelibrary.com |
