William S. Burroughs: The Cat Inside
There are crucial moments in any relationship, turning points. I had been away for ten days at Naropa. During my absence Bill Rich went out every day to feed the cats.
I have returned. Late afternoon on the back porch. I see Ruski and he moves away. Then he rolls on his side, tentative, not quite sure. I scoop him up and sit down on the edge of the porch. There is a clear moment when he recognizes me and begins sqeaking and purring and nuzzling. In that moment I finally know that he is my cat, and decide to take him with me when I leave the Stone House.
