Seymour passed away this past Tuesday afternoon - October 25, 2005. He was almost 16 years old. I had him since I picked him out of a basket with his brothers and sisters. He was the runt and fit in the palm of my hand. He was born in Virginia, adapted quite well to New York and thrived out here in California where he spent much of his time lounging in the sun, catching mice and rats and generally having a great cat life. He was affectionately known as "the big guy" and "fat boy" because at his peak he was almost 17 pounds. He was a very doggy kind of cat and loved his "mom" Maggie but also got along well with Sheila's dogs, expecially Akwa.

He will be missed.
