My name is Runtley. I am a tall, thin black cat, age 9. White whiskers and a really long tail keep me from looking like other black cats. I, along with five relatives, hail from Harvey Cedars, N.J. We have lived together on Florida’s west coast for many years. We take the weather for granted.

Every morning Dusty wakes us up at 6:30 a.m. She goes to the back sliding doors, which lead to a small lanai (screened-in porch) and a smaller pool. She greets the sunrise with “huh woe, huh woe.”
