About 5 years ago the vet said he wouldn't make old bones and despite having wobbly back legs it's Rueben's birthday and he's 15. Old cats are a bit like old people, often needy, wanting more cuddles, a bit clingy and sometimes fretful. What will life be like when he's gone ? Just too empty to imagine and I find myself thinking about it more as each year passes. How do words describe the companion he's been all these years. Impossible. His character is larger than life itself and he's smarter than any cat is supposed to be and I'll miss him dearly.
