Loving Mrs Red
She was stylish in every color, but especially red.
When she wore it, it became exotic and proud
Not haughty - regal, majestic.
Which is why I named her Mrs. Red.
I met her in red, knew her in red, and buried her in red.
It was her signature color.
When I told my brother he laughed diabolically.
In a mean uncaring non-cat-loving way.
He has always been weird.
Strange, possibly on the spectrum.
And he has never understood cats.
Frankly I wished I had never shared Mrs. Red’s memory with him.
