EXTRACT: I didn't go to the hospital. It's Christmas. I hate hospitals. I went into town to look at the lights. They're beautiful tonight. I met an old woman in the park. She said the Carols by Candlelight were spectacular this year. All the children were like little angels. ...We seem to be obsessed with hospitals, don't we? She's gone, Lou....She's finally gone. That's why she came home, see? That's what cats do. It doesn't matter how sick or how far away they are, they'll always come home to die.
