In memoriam: Durango

I'd like to pay tribute to Durango, also known around casa del Armenia as, "The Best Kitty Ever".

He passed from this world late Monday after a solid 16 years of loyal friendship to my wife.

When I moved into my wife's life and her house several years ago, Durango and I went round and round on who would hold the title of Alpha Male in my wife's eyes. I think I won out due only to possession of opposable thumbs and the ability to buy jewelry. However, that may have been unfair on my part. He was there for her through thick and thin WAY before I was part of the picture of her life. He was special, dear friend and a loyal companion to her. For this, I am grateful that he brought her so much joy.

I know now that he is in a better place, and I hope that if he has the power now to understand what I'm writing that he knows I loved him too and that he was one cool cat.

So, here's to Durango, (Mango Man, BOFT, the Best Kitty Ever)...may your bowl of kibble always be full.

So long, buddy.
