Aww, the cat in this essay is named Miss Kitty just like my cat. My cat came with that name, and I shorten it to Missy.
In this essay, a New York couple buy a country retreat in the Catskills that just happens to include Miss Kitty. The previous owner is not terribly interested in the cat, lets her roam at will, and doesn't take her with him when he moves out.
The New Yorkers find this rather shocking. "Maybe it was because we lived in New York City, where people treat their pets like royalty, but we just couldn't believe that this cat with long, luxurious white, brown, and black fur could be left to live outside."
So the country cat becomes a typical New Yorker, happily shuttling back and forth between her city apartment and country retreat.
