The Reading Life: Notes on the passing of Mr C, blog co-editor of The Reading Life
Excerpt:
Yesterday was a very sad one for my family. On Valentine's Day our beloved cat, Mr C (also known as Charles or Charlie) passed away at 19.5 years, nearly 100 for us. He was strong up until the last few months of his life and he did have a great life. We took him yesterday to the ancestral home of my wife where we buried him next to his beloved brother Yoda who passed away three years ago at 16.5. Charles has been by my side for so long it is hard to imagine him not sitting next to me as I type. He was older than my oldest daughter and strongly helped me get through the worse part of my own life when my mother passed away. He will always be missed by us all. Not many cats live to 19.5 and he fought off several illnesses in the last couple of years. He had a very powerful personality and demanded constant affection and attention and he did have us trained to cater to his every need and whim...
