It has been a difficult week for our family.

As he has been dealing with diabetes and kidney issues, we had to say goodbye yesterday to our almost thirteen year old cat, Mickodemus.

(He started life as Mick – but quickly needed a much longer trouble name and it became the biblically inspired Mickodemus. Over the years, he would add Crookshank Brimley Herring – and I’m still not sure four names were enough to contain all of his mischief. 🙂  )

He was a total mess.

He was the absolute LOUDEST cat I have ever known – and this house is freakishly quiet today – despite having four dogs.

I was forever finding him trying to steal my food. In fact, he loved to swipe a chicken nugget or tater tot right off of my plate and take off. 🙂

He always shared a birthday with our bug.

He was the most unruly, fabulous feline ever – and we will miss him so much. ❤

Be well, everybody. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Grace and Blessings.
