My late Dad loved black cats and always had a “Blackie” in the house for most of his 80+ years. I remember Christmas of 1962 (I was 10) we adopted a black cat at the Seattle pound and when my grandma said “you should call it ni**er”, my mother replied, “we don’t use that word in this house”.

I was expecting the sentence to end with, “and the fight began.”
