She wasn’t allowed to go next door, given her parents’ feud with the neighbor, but love can’t be stopped so easily. Constructing a gangplank that would clip to each of the balconies took all of her nine-year-old’s ingenuity and disregard for safe engineering practices, and slitting the window screen was comparatively easy after shimmying across that divide. The neighbor’s cat sprang out to meet her, purring and once again whispering to the child about the adventures they could have together, at it had been for months from across the yards.

Cats are definitely magic. I had a lot of grand adventures with my grandmother's barn cats when I was growing up.
