Big Rog

He loved to sleep with Grace
Roger with his injury last year...little did we know we wouldn't have very much more time with him.

Roger...sleeping by Grace

Yesterday, our beloved kitty Roger was hit by a car and killed. Our neighbor found him, and helped me take him into the garage. David came home from school and we took him to the vet to be cremated. He was such a special cat. We loved both him and his brother Dodger very much. We have some wonderful memories of this cat, and so do many of our friends and family. Some of our favorite things were:

*He loved to be spooned in bed.

*When he wasn't sleeping with us, he snuggled with Gracee

*He loved to sit in the bathroom sink and watch me get ready for my day.
*He let me dance with him. He had some really good moves!
*He let the kids harass the poo out of him...laying on him, pulling his tail, and rarely put a scratch on anyone.

*He let our friends wrestle with him

*He had a sweet and loving MEOW

*He followed the kids and I around the culdesac when we rode bikes

*He loved the sunshine (just like David and I). He was our California kitty!

*He bonded with anyone who wanted to bond with him

We love you Roger! You will be forever missed.

Rogers bonnet
Rogers stitches and drain tube
During our busy July month, right after we got started on our house project, Roger somehow impaled himself on something. I didn't take before shots, since I was in a hurry to get him to the vet. He had a hole in his stomach that had other holes inside the hole. He had to have several stitches and a drain tube. Grace named his green cone a bonnet. Roger has recovered just fine.....$600 later.
