Mrs. Fox lives
in a gingerbread
cottage. She takes
considerable comfort
in her calico cat,
Cosmo. Distrusting
store-bought pet food,
she cooks breakfast,
lunch, and dinner
for them both,
thriftily wrapping
leftovers in foil.
Saddened at the sudden
death of Mr. Fox, she
is content now, because
she has stopped questioning
the 'why' of it.
Mrs. Fox carefully culls
her friends, disdaining
liars and hypocrites.
She and her coterie enjoy
a book club, and attending
movies. They never miss
an art exhibit, and ofttimes,
get together for tea time
in the cozy gingerbread cottage.

in you, and feel your sparks as well.

What a delightful surprise to read this piece wondering whether she was human with an animal name or indeed a fox that adopted a cat! Eventually I had to accept she was indeed human.

Yes, plain old human. Thanks, Robin.
