Who Is Gink?

I've had a few people ask me why "Gink"? Obviously that's not my real name. So who is Gink?

Gink is a cat (see the photo in the upper right corner). He is from a series of children's books about a child witch named Dorrie by Patricia Coomb.

I loved those books when I was a kid. I loved that the main character was a little girl and a witch, that she wore different colored striped socks and that she had an all black cat named Gink.

I also loved her name!
