Goodbye, computer cat

I had Iris from when she was four months old — that's a grab from a video on my Palm Zire 72 from January 2006 — to yesterday, when she died peacefully resting in her box on her window ledge, two months shy of her 18th birthday. It was hard to take that on Father's Day weekend after Dad passed away from COVID in October 2021. I'll have something brighter to post here in a few days, but not today.

She always loved computers. They were warm.

    Sorry for the loss of your cat. It's always hard to say goodbye to a pet that's beloved member of the family. Being as cats seem to choose us as much as we choose them, may another cat someday find you to fill the void.

    Very sorry to hear of her passing, Dr. Kaiser. I'm sure she much enjoyed life with you and amongst all those "boxen of warmth"...
