We said goodbye to our old cat, Malcolm, early September. He had been having some health challenges for a while and we (I) made the difficult decision to have him put to rest.
I adopted Malcolm in 2000 when a friend of my brother's was unable to care for him due to allergies. He had already been adopted from the SPCA by this friend so I was his (at least) 3rd family.
Malcolm loved hunting when he was in his prime. We had a problem for quite a few years living in this neighbourhood because there were wild rabbits everywhere. They would nest nearby and Malcolm would go kill their babies, one at a time, and bring them back to our yard (or the neighbours') which sort of mortified everyone. We were relieved when the rabbits stopped nesting nearby but he still brought the odd mouse home.
Malcolm was a good old cat and he will be dearly missed. We planted some tulips, daffodils, and crocuses in our front flower bed to remind us of him every Spring as he used to sit and soak up the sun there some days.
Rest in Peace, Malcolm.
