Farewell, Friend

Anton The Cat
In 2001 my wife and I decided that our son - four years old - should have a companion. My wife voted for a dog (we were both brought up with dogs) but I managed to hold out for a cat.
My Wife and son then found a cat with a litter in a local shelter, with just one kitten left .... all the others had found homes.

Good friends of ours were adopting a son - Anton - so this adoptee became Anton-the-Cat for ever more.

That was in 2001.

It's 2018 now.











Anton the Cat was 17 this year, but his health was failing 
and he was increasingly uncomfortable and unhappy.

Anton the Cat has left us now. 
He leaves us the best of memories.



Thanks to Nick Irwin for the photos.
