My children came in while I was reading this a few hours ago, and demanded that I click for more pictures, and admired him with great enthusiasm, and were very sad to hear that he was recently departed.
I have four cats, two of whom are old and one of whom is truly ancient, at this point. (We're not sure how ancient, because like Aristophanes she was a foundling. We got her from the Ramsey County Humane Society in 1996; they had picked her up as a stray, and they estimated her as being two years old, but we think this was basically a wild-ass guess and I think she is older than 19 now.) She is brown and tabby-ish, not orange like Ari, but that last picture of Ari with his head draped over your elbow looked a lot like Fred looks when we cuddle her. She is old and feeble and scrawny and gimpy, but very pleased to still be with us. He is very clearly pleased to be with you, in that picture.)
