Bentley




I just learned today that Bentley has passed away. I will miss many things about him.

I will miss having him grandly stomp over me as I sleep over on Tai's sofa.

I will miss his distinctive kitty sounds.

I will miss stroking his jaunty, crooked tail.

I will miss knowing a cat who patiently puts up with anything.

I will miss his pacifist, non-squirrel-eating ways.

I will miss him because he has always been there for my friend Tai, as no other fellow in her life has been.

He was a beautifully large cat: large in belly, large in personality, and VERY large in the hearts of the people who knew him.

Goodbye Bentley.

How beautiful he was! He looks a bit like my Maine Coon, Kiko.

So sorry he moved on, but I'm sure he's in a great, scratching-post heaven!
