Lila’s cat Piper! Piper is a twelve year old long-haired calico. She can be quite shy around strangers, but is sweet and clingy around family. She enjoys lounging around the house in her favorite spots: the hallway rug (marked by clumps of her beautiful, but perpetually shedding, hair) or my parents’ bed. Lucas can be a bit too wild for her—his attempts to play are usually met with hissing and growling. But, as the senior of the house, Piper assumes her role as his protector. She doesn’t go out much, but when Lucas does, she can often be seen watching from the porch steps, ready to intervene if he gets into trouble.
