Cat Lady's House: March 22nd

One day we walked down-along Hopetown for a while and were surprised to discover that the Cat Lady's house had been torn down. Miss Lilly, the elderly lady who had lived there alone for many years was the self-appointed guardian of probably 20 or more stray cats. She spent her days striding around Hopetown rounding up her stray kitties or sitting in her doorway watching the tourists, probably because her house was so stinky inside from all the cats! Anyway, she died a few years back and a couple of other folks fed the cats, who mostly seem to have dispersed or disappeared. Recently the house has been torn down. Only a tiny portion of one wall has been left standing. I don't know for sure, but it seems as if the residents of Hopetown may have left it there as a tribute to the cat lady. Or perhaps it was just left standing because of the little sign tacked to it that points the way to Froggies Dive Shop. I don't know. There is much more on the web about Miss Lilly.
