Pussywillow - Long-haired cat, white fur with large black and brown spots. Got her from a litter of strays our neighbors found. I was 2 1/2, and named her myself after the bush. Lived for 18 years. Was the best (or worst…) huntress I have ever known, once killed an entire yard of squirrels and chipmunks one day. Her favorite food was shrimp. ---
