Mickey the Mouser aka Marmalade McTavish

Well, it was a very sad morning for us as we had to have Warren's beloved pet kitty put to sleep. We knew he was an old kitty when he was dropped on our doorstep 18 months ago but had hoped we would have him for a bit longer.

He moved in, assessed the whole downstairs and then chose a chair where he pretty much slept his life away for the next year! When he wasn't sleeping, he was purring his heart out -- a purr so loud that you could hear him two rooms away. This was great except when you were trying to sleep and he would start purring in the middle of the night!

He disdained playing with toys and laps for the most part but LOVED his catnip and special treats. He also thought that anything in your plate had to be much better than anything he was eating, but he was a cat after all! In the picture in better days, he was trying to convince Warren to give him some more of those special cat treats.

We will miss him very much and plan on getting new kitties to love this spring.
