Sir: I don’t think I have ever met Carol Evans Henley, but her recent letter to the editor about cats tells me a lot about her.
Only a woman of understanding, a gentle woman, a person who truly loves cats as individuals, could have written “Love comes in many colours, shapes, sizes, forms and the spirit of the divine hand of love comes from above and is reflected in many hands, hearts, paws, beaks, claws, and the window of the soul will always be in the eyes.”
Like my dear wife Ginny and I, Carol is a true cat lover. We have been rescuing cats and dogs since June 1992 when we lived in Hamilton. We have saved about a dozen cats over the years and three dogs.
Presently, we have five house cats and one beagle in our family. We have said we can’t take any more because we’re both nearly 80 and we want to make sure we don’t leave any orphan cats if we pass away!
We have six children between us but they all live in the Hamilton area and don’t keep in touch with us.
I thank Carol for her letter in The Chatham Voice, as I am sure she is an exceptional person!
