I haven’t quite decided whether this is a trap or not, but it sure is one of the prettiest cat bellies around. #cat #catsitting #catsofoakland #catsofinstagram #bengalcat #bengalcatsofinstagram #bengalbelly

Patches always finds something to smile about...this year she is smiling because she has a cozy home to curl up in, gets fresh food every day, and has friends and family to keep her company. In light of how crappy a year it’s been, I think I’m going to follow Patches example and be thankful for all of these wonderful things too. Especially since there are so many people who are missing one or more of these things right now...and if you haven’t done so already, please make a donation to your local food bank to help the millions of people who are struggling to make ends meet during this pandemic.

This afternoon, @100pctjosh & said goodbye to our baby, Monsoon. I adopted Monsoon from @berkeleyhumane in September 2002. She was my first cat as an adult and my first kitten. She quickly taught me the most important rule of kittens: they should be adopted with a playmate. At two months old, she was a ball of energy who shredded our shower curtain and relentlessly pounced on us while we were sleeping. It only took a few weeks for me to adopt her best friend, Ike, from Berkeley Animal Control. Ike and Monsoon bonded instantly and could always be found cuddling until his unfortunate passing in 2010. Monsoon has been with me for almost all of my adult life. She was my study buddy at the end of college and throughout law school. She dried my tears when I was unemployed during the recession. She persevered through countless foster cats & kittens. Through it all she was always the sweetest, gentlest cat who was always ready to curl up next to me for belly rubs and cuddles. Even in her old age, she had bursts of playfulness and would zip after the red dot like a kitten. Monsoon was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2012; chronic pancreatitis in 2019; mild hyperthyroidism in January of this year. Getting food in her was a battle for much of this year, but we kept rotating the selections and she kept persevering. I think the pandemic helped extend her time with us because we were home more and could spend more time encouraging her to eat. Sadly, she stopped eating a few days ago. While I take comfort in the fact that she was one of the lucky kitties who always had a loving home and lived a very long life, I can’t help but miss her. She’s been a part of my life for so long, I barely remember what it was like before she came along.

Such a goofball. #cat #catsitting #catsofinstagram
