I just said goodbye to the best cat ever. [View all]

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Yes, I know all cats are the best cat, but Milo really was the best cat. He was a big, fluffy orange and white guy with the sweetest disposition - he loved people, all people, and greeted everyone who came to the house. When I was having some remodeling done a few years ago I finally had to shut him in another room because he pestered the carpenters constantly, like, Hey, what are you doing? Can I help? Do you have any food? You should pet me instead of whatever that thing is you're doing. And if I was ignoring him while standing and talking to someone else he'd launch himself at my torso so I had to catch him and pet him. He followed me around like a puppy for all of his seventeen years. He really was the best cat, but he had cancer and got too sick, so I had to let him cross the Rainbow Bridge today.

Run free, Milo. I love you and you were the best cat ever.
