My cat has passed on. We had to put him to sleep yesterday. He had the Big C, and he was very old, and his organs were failing. It still didn't make it easy.

So farewell to a big, mean fighter of a cat, who loved his food. When we got him his last collar, it was very sparkly, but as my husband said, 'A cat walks down the street in a collar like that...'

He was loud and obnoxious at times, and he had a bad tendency to throw up in inconvenient spots in the middle of the night. He liked to fight. He brought home all sorts of things in all sorts of states. You couldn't prepare food in the kitchen without eyes in the back of your head. (Or claws up the back of your knees.) But we loved him, and we shall miss him. But if you follow the theory of reincarnation, somewhere, somebody in the world has just picked up a new kitten, and received an unexpected handful of pins and a loud demand for sardines.
