Twenty two years is a long time for a cat and I feel so happy to have had them with Merlin. It's amazing how they become so much a part of one's life. I told him everything and he'd listen and react as needed, most often with a cuddle. He was a good lad and I miss him so much.
I think of him often and mostly they are happy thoughts but, of course, it makes me miss him and his antics. What a great friend he was. I miss him so much.
