Lester's Official R. I. P.

 I wrote a piece about him right after his passing, but posted it on my regular blogsite. He was noted, but still needs to be noted here on this site, however belatedly.

Lester Vernell Schuette-Roundly, b. December 1996;

died August 28, 2012. A long life. Preceded in death on July 1, 2009 by his feline housemate Maxine. Survived by current felines Cynthia Noelle and Jill Elaine Roundly. 

In the last couple years, he'd started to get dottier. Then the continence thing started to rear its ugly head. He'd whiz on the carpet moments before I was due to leave for work, and/or leave me "keester eggs" when I got home. And then his mobility went. Couldn't even get back down the stairs after I'd carried him up. 

That last day was rough, taking him in to be put down. I just tried to make it quick. Lester knew what was up, and in his nervousness, stunk up the van pretty good, but these things pass. It was the kindest thing I could do for him, the thing most suited to his welfare. 

He's still missed, probably even by the cats- who may well remember him fleetingly, in between feedings and naps. 

One other thing: I'll need to change the name of this website to 3 Bodies- 10 legs.
