It rid her of all that attachment she had to her cat

Himavati also told me that she had a cat when she first met Srila Prabhupada. She said one day Srila Prabhupada came and he told her maybe she shouldn't have animals. She said he was so gentle about it but she was very attached to this cat. One day she said Srila Prabhupada came to their apartment and just touched the cat with his foot. She said about two days later the cat died. She said it wasn't like he kicked it or anything but just touched it, nudged it, and the cat left it's body. She said it rid her of all that attachment. She was a wealth of stories. He was so kind to her when he came to the Manor. He was always very kind to her, and said she is a great wife because she can cook and sew. She was a great cook and seamstress.
