Farewell to Mikey

 Mikey 1996 - 2013

Sweet Boy Kitty

 Rest In Peace

Sitting on top of my needlepoint in the studio,

before I moved out of the house!

Yes, laying up against a needlepoint pillow!

Healthier, younger days back in Shaker Heights.

last picture.

It was a sad day.  Mikey stopped eating and drinking on Wednesday, 

and removed himself from our daily world.  Just hung out under the 

dining room table,

and let us know in his own way that he was tired and ready to go.

John and I got Mikey in December of 1995, and he pretty much became

John's cat.  He was all guy!  Very macho. A great hunter in his day.  He

would leave us 'presents' on the back stoop! 

The past few years he perched on the back of the sofa right above me

 as I needlepointed in the evenings.  He was not the kind of kitty 

that you could just reach up and pet.  When he was ready for 

affection, he would nonchalantly stretch out a paw and press on

 my shoulder ever so lightly.  God forbid if I ignored the paw! 

 The press would get more firm, and he would then swish his tail 

into my face and eyes so that I could not

see the stitching!  He knew exactly what he was doing! 

He lived a good, long kitty life, and we enjoyed 17 years with him.

We will miss him.
