My kitty Marbles, my best friend for 17 years, passed away on Tuesday night. I know many of you are cat ladies as well and can understand how sad I am. I wanted to let you all know in case you see a general downturn in the mood of my posts/some inactivity. I miss my kitty! Above is a picture of him on Christmas day. He LOVED Christmas because he got to play in piles of wrapping paper and he always got some delicious treats, cat grass, and catnip mice.
