In Loving Memory of Kato our cat
Just a small family note... Our cat of many years has passed away Friday Jan 18th.
Old age and his time had come. Kato was at times a trouble maker but mostly, over the years we had him, his influences around the house have been to bring love and tenderness and a purr.
I will miss his morning conversation while I make coffee and he tells me to feed him or rubs my leg. He was talkative.
Ryan may not miss the little battles with cat hair on his clothing. But he will miss his "kitten" as he had taken to calling him over the last several years. Thomas frequently snuck Kato into his bed and was always a tender pet lover. Kato and Thomas had a very special relationship.
The loss has hit Trish very hard. We all miss him. Trish will miss the hugging of her kitty the most. Tears and sadness mark his passing. We did not have him euthanized but kept him home and administered to him as best we could. Kato passed away quietly on Friday night. He purred for us up until the end.
Back when OJ was in the middle of his word renowned murder trial... This cat showed up in our back yard and started to sponge off of us. So of course I named him after Kato Kaitlen the permanent house guest OJ had in his back yard. Kato had his 15 minutes of fame. Kato our cat had approx. 15 years of our love.
He used to nap in my home office and keep me company. He roamed the neighborhood like a tiger.
Even the day before he passed he traveled to a neighbors house and came back hours later when called. Trish hugged him up when she found him sitting at the front door waiting to come in.
