Missing Sly

I'm missing Sylvester a lot these two weeks... I guess all the pet food recall is making me think of him... seeing photos of cats that resemble him in the news articles also make me think of him more.

Can you blame me? Sylvester suffered from kidney failure last October and had to be put to sleep. I keep on checking the ever expanding recall list from Menu Foods every time I see an updated article... I guess I'm trying to find reason for his untimely death. I always thought he would be around for at least another few years...

"Grandpa"... that's what my roommates and I sometimes refer to him as. :) "Grandpa" did this today... "grandpa" was being moody... "grandpa" was locked outside in the yard by mistake... "grandpa" was attacked by an alley cat... and etc...

I found myself petting "grandpa's" fur over the weekend. I kept a ball of his fur that was left behind in his brush, a tooth that fell off due to old age, and 4 clippings of his whiskers before he was euthanized. I almost forgot how soft his fur actually was.

I miss you Sylvester.
