Cats at Ammamma’s
Cats were permanent guests at Ammamma's home. Often, they were self-invited and
treated themselves to curd or milk. Ammamma shooed them by lifting her right hand and
screaming.
It wasn't an angry shoo and I think the cats understood that and never really left. They just
wandered around. Sometimes we would find a cat near the pots and plants and sometimes
wandering near the dustbin. Once they even scratched a cousin on his face when he was
asleep.
Today as we observe her five months of Ammamma’s passing, a cat came too -- growling.
