In memory of Cid
Last night between 12:00 and 2:00 my cat, Cid Zein, passed away from long term complications of renal failure. He was over 20 years old and had been my sweetest and best companion for the past 17 years, since my Aunt gave him to me as a Christmas present when I was 12. He moved with me to UCLA, then San Diego, then Baltimore and Montreal, accomplishing two cross-country road trips and multiple flights. He comforted me when friends passed away and relationships fell apart. He disappeared for a few years in 2004 and was inexplicably and wonderfully returned to me in 2007. When he was young he would bring us birds he caught and tried to climb trees without claws (he was declawed when I got him) He liked to jump on the sink counter, drink from the faucet and curl up in the sink. He loved sleeping on his back like a seal and sitting in the sun, especially outside.
I can't bring myself to write anymore. Perhaps later. I love you baby boy.
