Hospice Journal: Marion, Izzy. Louis, the uninvited guest

by Jon Katz

 Louis is the nursing home cat, and last week, we were visiting a hospice patient and Louis  came into the room and hopped up on Izzy, who went straight up in the air and kept his cool. The two of them had a couple of square-offs, but now seem to be buds and Louis follows Izzy around everywhere. Yesterday, when we were visiting Marion, and took her outside, Louis came skittering out the door and kept popping up in the photo. Eventually, he came and dozed right next to Izzy, and I didn’t notice at first. He is popping up in many of the photos. Izzy seems to have complete accepted him. “He is a rascal,” says Marion of Louis.
