Two weeks later Gilbert took the sign out of the window. He had become very attached to the cat and it was obvious that the yellow-eyed man wasnβt coming back. The moment the sign came down, Marlo and the cat became inseparable.
βHow come the big change in Marlo, dad?β Gilbert said.
βItβs possible that she didnβt want to form an emotional bond with the cat and then have him taken away from her.β
Marlo now took over all the chores of having him as a pet. He slept curled up next to her head on her bed, followed her everywhere and sat quietly at every one of her performances. Marlo instinctively understood the catβs moods and desires perfectly. She knew the difference between an βIβm hungry for chicken look,β an βIβd like some cheese look,β and an βIβve had enough petting warning glance.β
One day Henry peeked into the shoppe and saw the white cat licking Marloβs cheek. And then he saw something he had never seen before: Marlo smiled, for the first time in her life.
βThereβs no doubt about it, Virginia,β Henry said to his wife, βever since that white cat showed up Marloβs been a different person.β
βItβs almost magical.β
βI just hope the owner doesnβt come back one day. I donβt think Marlo could bear to part with him.β
Thatβs when Henry got the idea for a new fairy tale. Had he known that the writing of this new story would change everyoneβs life, including his own (and become damning evidence in his sonβs trial for kidnapping and possible murder), he would have kept it locked in his mind and never set it to paper. Weβll get to that part shortly, but to make sense of it all you must know the story of The Cat Who Could Change Colors. Gilbert drew all of the pictures and they bound one special copy as a birthday present for Marlo. She read it every night before she went to bed and always fell asleep with the cat in her arms and a smile on her lips.
