By Roz Young

Alone for some years, the independent Ms. Young had grown accustomed to the quietness of her pleasant house on a leafy street in Kettering, Ohio. Its careful symmetry pleased her. Its serenity pleased her. She had no plans to disrupt either with the presence of a boarder. That, of course, was before she met Edith. Edith was a seven-month-old brown and orange tabby, of uncertain lineage but definite character. Soon, Ms. Young found, she was not only sharing her house but also her life. At first, she commandeered the bathroom scales (a little personal quirk), and soon, her purview had spread into the surrounding neighborhood. The curious incident of the rubber bands, the adulation of crowds, life, death (the tragedy of beloved Moonbeam), and the sweet in-between times... through all of this, Edith is an affectionate adoption story.
