BELIN: More love for the Longwood Gardens cat

People are still writing to me to express how much they miss Belin, the beloved "ambassador cat" at Longwood Gardens, who died on Sept. 23. Belin made his home in the Peirce-du Pont House.
1. Reader Ann writes: "I was so pleased that you put the Belin story in your column.  He had a wonderful personality, if he felt like it , he would meow back a good morning.   As a regular morning walker I miss him. " (She added, much to my delight: "Keep up the Library Story, maybe we can get our name back?")
2. "We always made the time to stop by and see Belin each time we came to the gardens. Inside or outside, he always loved a good chin scratch and we loved giving him the attention. We were saddened today to find out he has crossed the rainbow bridge. We will miss you Belin, you were special!"
3. "Dear Belin, We will miss you. You were always there for us when we visited. Love,
MiMi and PaPa."
