Hilda-

Let me extend condolences on behalf of our black cat whose name in English translates into "My Shadow" and is "Tilahun" in Ethiopian (Amharic to be precise).

Tilahun and her partner Tejitu combined forces this morning to run two new cats out of "their jungle." They have also held their own against one poor unfortunate chocolate lab but fortunately they don't mess with the raccoons or the skunks; they just lie very still and watch them.
