Simon Exploring

More cute shots of Simon from March & April here.

Simon used to be the basement cat here. But since Sylvani died, we decided to introduce Simon to the rest of the house. We had to bribe him with treats at first, to come to the top of the stairs, then into the kitchen, next room, and so on. But then he finally started exploring on his own. His territory has tripled in size, and he seems pretty happy with that.

In Loving Memory: Sylvani, May 2003 – Jan. 10, 2009

It’s very hard to do this, but I wanted to let folks know that we’ve had a death in the family.

Our sweet and bratty little bully cat, Sylvani, whom we all loved so much here, died about 11 pm last night, apparently of sudden heart failure. We were here when it happened, but he was gone within a minute and there was just nothing that could be done.

Here is a collection of photos I’ve gathered of him from the few short years we had him with us (from 4/12/04 – 1/10/09 (he was nearly a year old when we adopted him,)
