Mrs Jones the Norwegian Forest Cat
Mrs. Jones is a pillar of our community, although she’d prefer “queen.” A Norwegian Forest Cat of impressive undisclosed age, she’s spent her life choosing people when they need her companionship most, quietly looking after them. First, a local elderly woman, then a lovely man Tony, who used to joke he had to rush home because Mrs. Jones was waiting wearing nothing but a fur coat. She sat on his grand piano and dined from crystal plates, standards she still insists on today. As Tony became more unwell, he asked Mum to take her in.
She adored our Dad, a vet, sleeping on his head, doting on each other while he indulged her famously lavish palate. We heartbreakingly lost Dad last year, and Mrs. Jones stays close while keeping us on our toes, we know he’d be smiling at her antics. She’s demanding, hilarious, intuitive, slightly mischievous and deeply loyal. In her own way, she’s supported not just one person, but many members of the community.
