(Preview of Ch. 16 of The Women in Me–How they Helped Me Survive and Thrive, “Butter-ing Me Up.”) A pet often brings brightness into beleaguered people’s lives. Butter was no exception. This special-needs cat enriched the lives of both people he owned, especially the author’s. He acted as co-caregiver for Ray, then grieved with her when he died, giving her solace as she transitioned into widowhood. Oddly enough, she had never been a cat person. Nobody in her family had been. Butter, though, was her version of what her Influencers embraced that brought them comfort and joy. https://smthingscount.com/women-in-me/
