      I just read this great @newyorker piece by @peterhessler (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/05/07/cairo-a-type-of-love-story …) and I'm totally reminded of my own, sadly deceased, monster cat, Harry 1/

      12 years ago, we moved from Baltimore to Silver Spring. I was taking Harry by car, safely encased in a cat cage on the back seat, heading down I95 with the driver's window down 2/

      Harry, free from the cage, didn't seem to care that we were heading down 95 at 60mph. He took one look at freedom and made a leap for the open window 4/

      I realized just in time and threw out an arm that just about prevented him from taking a dive onto the fast lane. I managed to close the window but Harry scampered around the dashboard as I headed for the nearest exit 5/

      Flustered, I became agitated when I immediately became stuck in a long line of traffic. What was going on? I honked. It was only then I realized it was a funeral procession 6/

      Eventually I pulled into a gas station and was able to put the cat cage back together. I then drove to Silver Spring holding the cage with one hand so that Harry couldn't break free again 7/

      Harry was a force of nature, a giant ginger cat with paws like a lion and the temperament of a Baltimore alley cat. Sadly that was to be his demise. 8/

          Shortly after moving, perhaps because he was pining for home, he was hit by a bus while making a run for it . He's buried in the backyard. RIP Harry fin/

          My favorite Harry moment was when he got into the catnip stash—on the top of a six-foot shelf—and we came home to find him rolling, wild eyed, around the basement. The lid was still on the 1/3-lb container, but it had tooth punctures all over and was completely empty.
