In memory of Tzeitel

Tzeitel was a small cat who seemed timid but could show her feisty side too, she would chase foxes out of the gsrden and put up a struggle when she had to the vet. She wss affectionate on her terms , she liked to curl up with me on the bed sometimes. She came into my life when a dog chased her into the garden one day and she scrambled in a bush to get away. I brought her indoors , where she hid for days behind my bed . No one knew where she came from so i gave her home , the vet thought she about four months old and i named her after Tevye's spirited daughter in Fiddler on the Roof , it suited her nature. My other cat became her brother.
