17 Years

It is a sad day at the Thomas House
We lost a loved one today
For 17 years Truman was part of my life
Everyone loved him - cat loves and non cat lovers

It's crazy - he was just a cat I tell myself
but I know he was more - he was family

All his little quirks will be missed
drinking out of the sink
his little conversations he would have with you
or better yet - something jumping on your head in the middle of the night
never could figure out how he squeezed between Russ and I in bed and was never squashed

Here are some pictures I found 
some might be blurry from scanning in
First day I got him - He was a Valentine's present
He was only 8 months old from the Humane Society
(Russ asked me if I was 16 yrs old in this picture - funny one)
so cute
 one of my favorite pictures
always climbing on the dishwasher lid if it was open
 I can't begin to tell you all the places we would find him sleeping
 Best buddies - never saw 2 males cats get along so well
(they slept like this together all the time)
Nixon will miss having his playmate
I will miss these two in the morning in the bathroom with me
London gave him lots of love - he tolerated her well when she was little
It hurts to know that it was time for you to go
Honestly, I think I thought you were going to live forever

Thanks for being the "World's Best Cat"
