Dushka lived from 1979 -May 1984. He was killed in a terrible road crash accident which also killed a man and his dog.
Strangely indeed, we came eventually to live in the same house in which the man and his dog had lived. That may sound rather brutal, but is a long complicated story I won't go into here....
Dushka was a beautiful cat, mixed-breed, short haired, grey/white/, big, and looked like the Egyptian "Bast" statue except for his colouring. He never knew a day of ill-health in his life. When I lived in the mountains, he lived with me and used to go up mountains with me!
He was gentle and sweet-natured, and very intelligent.
The myth about him being a "reincarnated electrician" came from his fascination with how electrical items worked. No he never chewed cables or ever even touched them! But I would see him staring at a boiling kettle....following the lead back with his eyes, right to the socket, and back again. He did this with lamps as well, and other electronic things.
