The Traveler 

Peanut Butter Stover is old, but I don't see it.

The scientist says that Peanut”™s kidneys are failing.

The scientist says that in present times cats often outlive their kidneys.

The scientist says that it could be hereditary. Peanut”™s mom, Alf, died of kidney failure, too.

The scientist says that it is a fairly late stage.

We grew up together, you know. Me and Peanut?

She was a kitten and I was a kid and she darted into my room every morning and woke me up”¦ I used to monologue to her in the sixth grade. We played Ninja Cat. I met her the day after she was born.

I thought we were growing up together.

Oh, I don”™t mind her going on ahead. She is old.

But I”™m not in Virginia.

So she is already far away.

Still, Peanut, I don”™t mind if you go on ahead a ways.

Just wait for me a little, k?
