golem

On the Tuesday after Christmas my dear cat Golem passed away.  We had been together for almost thirteen years.
He was a special boy.  Not your ordinary cat.  Some animals are like that.


I couldn't say what it was, but he was an uncommon and valued friend.
I feel that our home is not the same.  I will miss him very much.

(In the name of his memory please forgive the poor quality of  over a decades worth of his photos.)

 

 in his younger days he could jump almost five feet
