The Whimsical World of Edward
Lear A Tribute to His Beloved
Tabby FossAs we meander
through the whimsical world of
Edward Lear its not uncommon
to stumble upon tales of his
beloved pets One such feline
friend a tabby cat named Foss
held a special place in his
heart In fact when Lear moved
to San Remo and built a new
home he went to great lengths
to ensure that Foss would feel
right at ease in her new
surroundingsLears dedication
to his pet is as delightful as
it is surprising He instructed
the builders to construct the
new house to exact
specifications mirroring those
of his previous residence This
peculiar peculiarity was done
with one purpose in mind to
provide a sense of continuity
and comfort for FossAs we gaze
upon Lears whimsical creations
be they fantastical creatures
or absurd scenarios its easy
to imagine Foss lounging about
the new abode her whiskers
twitching as she surveyed her
surroundings And what better
way to ensure her happiness
than by replicating the
familiar layout and decor of
their old homeThe tabby cats
transition would have been
seamless like a velvetgloved
hand doffing its silken sleeve
Foss would have settled into
her new environment with ease
rubbing against the same
furniture and perching on the
same windowsills that she had
grown accustomed to in their
old homeEdward Lears love for
his pets was as boundless as
his imagination His dedication
to providing a comfortable
haven for Foss is a testament
to his affectionate nature and
commitment to making those
around him including of course
his feline companions feel at
peaceAs we celebrate the life
and work of this beloved
author let us not forget the
special place that Foss held
in his heart And who knows
Perhaps as you read through
Lears wondrous tales of
adventure and whimsy youll be
reminded to doff your own hat
or rather your own whisker in
appreciation for the creatures
that bring joy and comfort to
our livesAbout the
