Popcorn, R.I.P.

    This upset-looking cat is Popcorn, our Maine Coon. We adopted Popcorn from the Humane Society of Texas when she was somewhere between 8 and 10 years old.

    That was 10.5 years ago.

    We put Popcorn to sleep this week, after months of coping with advancing renal failure. We knew her time had finally come when her appetite finally failed her.

    All our cats have unique personalities, but Popcorn was truly different. She'd look you in the eye and you could hold a conversation with her. And no matter how upset she may look here (she never did like being photographed), Popcorn was the biggest cuddleslut I've ever know. Her whole life I don't believe she ever stopped purring, and she was always on the lookout for a lap to curl up in.

    I'll miss her a lot.
