Michael Landon's TALE OF THE CAT Dodie and I met on a blind date. All I knew about her was that she was a widow with a young son, and that I wanted to see her again. When I arrived for the date. I got my first shock — Dodie likes cats. At that moment she had six. They ranged from a large elderly Siamese named Pogo through various halfbreeds to a stray named Dormouse. As cats go. they were nice: well-bred, friendly. But I detested cats. I did like Dodie. though, so I kept my sentiments to myself at first. Later on it became a terrible problem— because I wanted to marry her. I never was able to get up the courage to tell her I didn't like cats, so we drifted along having dat°s and falling in love. Finally, we had a terrible argument over something I quite unconnected with cats I . and we split up. I was dreadfully unhappy, and as it turned out, so was Dodie. She stood it for a week. Then when it began to seem that I wasn't going to give in. she took action. I got a telegram saying POGO VERY ILL COME AT ONCE, signed Dormouse, Of course, I thought it was only a gag. but my pride had been saved by her making the first move, so I hustled over at once — and you know what? Pogo really was ill! He was in the Small Animal Hospital and not allowed any visitors! Once Dodie got me back by a clever excuse, she never let me go again. Pogo was pronounced 'convalescent'— so we piled the rest of the cats into the car and took them to the kennels, sent Dodie's son to stay with friends, and we took off for Mexico where we were married. We got back. Pogo was well. What miracles love can work: and I was glad to have him. I complicated things more, gave Dodie a new Siamese for a wedding gift, and bought a puppy for my new son. Today we have eleven cats, plus the puppy, and a look in Dodie's eye that says no end is in sight!
