Pippin

Thank you all for your condolences. If you didn't see my post earlier on the Book of Faces, I'm so sad to say that my cat, my little boy Pippin passed away tonight. Pippin was the first cat that was truly mine start to finish. He was always my little boy. He loved my lap above all other laps. When he was younger and more spry, he was a champion player of string and laser pointer, and also a good mouser, with at least one confirmed kill to his name. He held our house together; all the cats revered him. It's going to be a difficult adjustment as we, and the cats, adjust to life without him. He was pretty much the center of everything around here, the benevolent patriarch, always available for snugs and affection when anyone needed it. It's such a shock to lose him so suddenly, but he was an old man and his health had been poor for a while now. I guess I kind of hoped he'd live forever. Naive. He will be missed and I will always love and miss my little boy.
