I didn’t envisage having this as my first post…
Last night, Charly, our constant companion and chicken thief of over 13 years passed away in our company after a short illness. As cats go, and I have had cats around me for most of my life, he was one of the best. His exploits when begging for bacon when I was cooking breakfast, stealing chicken legs while I am trying to eat them and, on one spectacularly hilarious occasion, nearly killing himself trying to get away with a 5 Kg heavy goose that I was about to carve now go down as legendary.
He was always very affectionate, even when not hungry, and always enjoyed our company in the evenings, curled up with us on the sofa.
You will be sorely missed but never forgotten. Enjoy your last resting place behind the apple tree, where you spent so much time pointedly ignoring all the birds.
