My Edward was named for Prince Edward, Queen Elizabeth’s youngest son. Edward and his beautiful sister Sophie came to live with me on the day that Prince Edward and Lady Sophie were married.
Edward was all boy. He loved to play until he was near exhaustion. Then he would jump up on the bed, throw his toys on me, then throw himself on my legs and fall asleep.
Eddie was laid back like boy cats are. One night when he was about 8 months old , Eddie discovered how to cuddle. He must have been cold and he wiggled along side of me like he was glued there. From that day until the day he died in my arms, he was by my side. Smooth as silk and soft as velvet.
