Oh my! This is like a fishbone stuck in my heart.

I don't plan to tell my great friend and fuzzy buddy "Igor". I'm not sure what it might do to him. He came to us after several years as a homeless cat, on the city streets, where one of our elderly relatives lived.

I catnapped Igor off the city streets about the same time that Tan adopted "The Man".

My good friend Igor endured several horrible snowy and extremely cold winters, and was in the midst of an awful body-zapping daily 100+ degrees summer when I decided he might like to live with us in the more temperate mountains.

Since Igor came to Catmandoo Farm, he has regained his sense of love, humor, and health. He loves living much like his mentor and hero -- Tan. The tractor, UTV, chicken coop, ponds, and much more are under his auspices. He jumps in the UPS truck as soon as our friendly UPS driver stops the truck.

This is a very sad day. We will all miss Tan-- I'm sure this even involves our good friend Sunil!

RIP Tan.

Catmandoo and Igor
