Whenever I was home, he stuck to me like glue.

When he got old and sick with kidney failure, the vet gave him about a month to live.

He was always obsessed with going outside. We figured he had nothing to lose, so we let him be an outdoor cat during the day.

He DECIMATED the chipmunk population in our back yard, and lived another six months.

Feel sorry for the chipmunks.
