Moggie
1994-2015
Moggie was, without doubt, part of the family. A slim, tall "rangy" cat, he was never fat, but lithe and very athletic. He knew he was a handsome beast and posed in the sunlight up the garden, where everybody could admire him.
Affectionate, aloof, endearing, exasperating, he would wait at the gate in order to pounce on passing dogs. No other cat would dare to enter his patch.
He would revel in having his belly ribbed and then try to tear your arm off to get at your ham sandwich.
Twenty years is a long time and he became a fixture in the house. You eyes still stray to the places he used to sit or sleep in - on the back of the sofa in the sun, at the top of the stairs where the hot water pipes run.
We knew he had problems but he held his own up until Xmas and went down from there.
Taking him to the vet was the hardest thing I've ever done. The whole family, including the grandchildren are devastated. The house feels empty.
Rest in peace, old son. You were a star.
