Monty
We lost a good friend this weekend. Our cat, Monty, had been successfully battling kidney failure and a hyperthyroidism for two or so years now. But an infection in the last few weeks was finally too much for him. I picked Monty up from a shelter on Mercer Island eight years ago. Shortly after I had moved to Seattle. Monty was my first cat. I had wanted a dog but figured a cat was the more responsible choice at my point of life back then. He was about two years old then and really loved a good round of feather on the stick. He was never a shy cat and greeted us at the door most days. It is a bit strange to be without a cat now. We will never be able to replace a cat like Monty but we hope to get some kittens in the near-ish future.
