From Nevada Barr's book Flashback:
[Anna'd] wondered whether it was a kindness to drag [her cat] to [her National Park Service assignment on an island in] the middle of the ocean but, once the trauma of cat travel was over, she'd congratulated herself every day on the wisdom of her decision. With a cat in it, a home was never empty. Echoes, like mice, were frightened from the corners, and loneliness, though still possible, had blunter teeth.
