Looking at the time line of this post it has been almost a year since I started it. Simon had stomach problems before as well but the last year was hit or miss for us. He would get better than go back to his problems. It's still hard and we miss him so much already.

I keep wanting to call him. He always came when I called his name and whistled for him. He was a loving cat and would nip my chin sometimes to give me love bites. He liked to be around us but not a clingy kitty and would refuse to sit on our laps. I think he was claustrophobic. He never wanted to be covered up unless he crawled under a blanket himself.

Our other cat is nice but she is not a man's cat. She doesn't want to be played with and is timid. I think my hubby will miss Simon's playfullness. Maybe in the Spring I can talk him into finding another male cat who likes to play.
