Our Halloween Devil-Cat

On Halloween- so many years ago, our grandkids had a pet named Georgie cat; a sweet Tuxedo cat for sure, although- could offer soothing purrs or claws combat! Kids dressed him up in a red-devil suit- were so surprised he did not hiss or stir. Just slight annoyance on his face, so cute; to dressing up, he sweetly did defer. The glare within his gold-green starring eyes so much enhanced his red-horned costume, that our Georgie with his Halloween disguise became our holiday's much-loved black cat. But now, in heaven- where dear kitties go, we're left with memories- and one photo. As Georgie angel purrs neath halo-glow, we smile- remembering his devil show.
