Benji died last week, from some awful mix of liver problems and skin problems and who knows what else. He was a tremendous sweetheart who made friends with everyone he met. I’d expected us to have many more years together, just like with Isobel. These are some of the pictures I drew of him.
he will be missed by many.

Thanks, Susie. And thanks also to everyone who got in touch privately and/or elsewhere. Pretty much anyone who knew him had heard the news quite a while before I was able to get this memorial together.

Jason, sorry to hear about Benji – you know I am not really a cat person, but any creature you bond with is special – I especially liked the one on top of the fridge with the no-lick cone – Raj

Thanks, Raj. I wasn’t a cat person til I started fostering some cats … it becomes totally about the individual!
