Monsieur Benoît was obviously a Walrus but that was no excuse for him to have to be served his dinner outside, the cats alone were a distraction.

Simon passed away today

This is a picture of Simon from 2005 he passed away today .Simon was the first cat Vivienne and I had gotten together after we were married. He was such a special cat in fact he was more like a gentle dog in his personality than a cat. Vivienne would always look at Simon and I and say "a boy and his cat" He would ride in the car with us and go on any trip or vacation we would go on.
Its so hard to describe how much you can love a being that makes you smile every time you see it and gives you so much love and joy. He was such a huge part of our lives together I can't even explain the impact he had on my life. I painted his portrait all of the time he was so inspiring to me. He passed away four years to the day of our other sweet cat Isabelle.
