On February 8, 2008, we were driving behind one of our favorite restaurants and a random cat ran out in front of us. I stopped the car, as the cat was pretty close to us. Someone opened a door, and the cat jumped in and started purring. When we asked a local about the cat, they told us that it was likely a stray and that most everyone had dogs, not cats. So now he’s ours, and we call him Abe.
10/30/21: Abe passed away sometime early this morning. I got home last night, and he was lethargic. We knew he had been on borrowed time since this spring, when they said his kidney function was deteriorating. He wasn’t in any pain, so we tried some different supplements and such and got to spend a few more months with the Big Floof.
