RIP Baetis — The Kiwi-Queen — 2002–2022

Baetis, the old tabby with the ginger accents, labors up a cedar plank ramp to her perch at the kitchen window. Curled claws grip and click on the soft wood. Her claws left marks at ten different homes spanning almost two decades on both sides of the equator.
