RIP Snowstorm

 February 28, 2002 - October 28, 2020
Cheryl got Snowstorm from the cat veterinarian in Richmond.  He was the runt of the litter.  He was an inside cat and extremely loveable.  For the first ten years of his life, he lived under the bed.  He liked to hide.  Then Cheryl adopted Roxy from the SPCA, a crazy two year old female who loved to bolt outside and hated Snowstorm.  Roxy brought Snowstorm out of his shell.  They snarled if they ever passed each other in the house.  

The black mark in his right ear is a tattoo.  Not that he ever went outside but it's a good thing to do.

We've watched him slow down, lose a lot of weight, lost his hearing and had trouble climbing the stairs.  On Monday, he stopped eating.  Cheryl said he wasn't in pain, but had to make the hard decision.  

He's being cremated and they bought an urn with his name on it.

I spoke with Cheryl last night.  She said Roxy is elated she's getting all the attention.  There won't be another cat at this time.  She feels Roxy would not be happy by bringing in another cat.  Lexie has a different opinion.  She wants another white cat and has already named him/her Snowcone!

Snowflake 1994 - 2006 Cheryl begged us to get this cat.  "I will feed him and look after him".  She got married and guess where he stayed!
