A seventy-year-old man came to visit. At some point I picked up my cat and cradled her in my arms. I told him: “She’s very friendly. Would you like to hold her?”

He said yes, and did so. And we carried on with our conversation.

After some time he put her down and said, “That was nice. I’ve never held a cat before.”

I felt that was just so… tragic.
