Today I mourn the death of my #1 cat, Chloe (seen here a few years ago). Chloe was actually the second cat that my friend Kathie and I adopted, but the first I truly loved. Kathie found her among some homes being refurbished by Habitat For Humanity in West Philly in over 17 years ago. Chloe lived with me from a tiny studio apartment in Rittenhouse Square, to a house in East Falls, and finally in my current home in Roxborough. Some years ago she moved to Oregon with Kathie and her boyfriend Jason and came to live in Portland.
