I walked about Levy and the Levy Trail for 36:42 this morning.
En route, I saw Red the cat for the first time since June 13, 2018. She's starting to get up there in age, but she walked right to me and let me pick her up.* Her real name is Sammy, her owner Helen Langley told me back in 2017. Helen hinted she might consider giving her to me. Red's cool. I wonder what Joe would think.
*I first saw and held Red, back when I thought she was a boy, on Nov. 9, 2011. After my walk that day I wrote: "I had a rare cat experience today. I might get one of these every couple of years or so; a cat in the wreck of a neighborhood on the other side of 47th Street, a half a mile from here, toward the end of my walk, ran from the street up a driveway toward his house when he saw me approach. He turned and hunched down, thirty feet from the street. Just as I reached the base of the driveway, he meowed. I stopped and made the clicking sound that I make with my tongue to attract pets. The cat stepped forward a foot or so, then hesitated. I sat on my heels, repeated the sound, and, as I expected, he jogged to me, and purred as I petted him and picked him up. He was an orange tiger cat, short hair, maybe a pound or two heavier than Jo. I hope to see him again."
