Kitty Karma

The day after Jere died, a young cat popped her head up out of a floor vent in the kitchen (the hub of the house). Jere hated cats, and he probably would have done what his family did: push the cat back down the vent.

However, the cat came back.

When she popped up again, Florence and her daughters let the cat stay. A granddaughter in vet school has already found a family for the kitty, who will travel back to Nebraska in the family car.

Florence laughs and says that "It's Jere's spirit come back!" 

I'd like to think she's right: he was wide of spirit with respect to every living thing but one. It would serve him right!
