A wild, bird-eating 18-year-old orange tabby & his domesticated 102-year-old pet

The two “pets” are my parents. There were the two of them in the house for the first 15 years or so of the tabby’s residence. Minou’s story winds about them, binds them in mutual affection and shared life.

The story is not quite clear on how he first came to occupy at the house on Boeuf Trace, just south of central Louisiana’s Bayou Robert. 

But shortly after arriving, he accepted an offering of food, and then decided he need go no further.  He was finally home, had arrived at his home. 

The two humans who lived there prior to his entrance were welcome accoutrements to the comfortable shelter, basically his pets, subject to his whims and needs.
