Just shy of his 6th birthday, we and Warrl lost a hard-fought battle with cancer. This wasn't supposed to happen.

We miss you so much, sweetie. Till we meet again... We'll be waiting. Stay close.

Warrl

• played fetch
• loved to play with fuzzy mice
• squeaked with excitement when a new mouse appeared
• loved to catch moths
• loved the cat dancer; it was The Toy
• leaped high in the air, bent like a horseshoe and pounced with all four feet
• waited for my car, watching out the window
• ran 3 steps and fell over for tummy rubs when I came home, then got up and did it again
• loved to play "chase"
• made the funniest Gung gung gung sound I've hever heard
• made tummies on the floor to inveigle me to stop reading and come play
• loved to leap on my lap in the bathroom, then curl up and snuggle
• liked to sleep in the basket on my monitor
• liked any basket to sleep in
• used to blow kitty kisses - long slow blinks, that told me how much he loved me
• Asked to be picked up and held, always on my right shoulder or turned onto my right arm to watch the surrounding scene
• slept under the covers curled tight next to me
• wasn't with me long enough... and will be with me always
