This morning at 9 am our beloved cat, Cider went to be with her Creator. She was 14 and half years old and was in failing health the last 2 months. If at times she was a pest (missing the cat box, horking up on the carpet) she was for the most part an easy cat to live with. Although she was not a playful cat, she was a great lap cat and had a purr (25 cps) that could be heard ten feet away.
She came to us when she followed Will and Deb home one summer evening. Despite Bob's protestations, she became an integral part of the Sinclair family for the last 13+ years. She was very friendly to all who met her (w/one exception [sorry Kristen]). She will be greatly missed.
With the pain of losing her, the question I have is: who pastors the Pastor? Despite the fact that I was allergic to her, and never wanted the cat to begin with, there is this profound sense of loss. It will not be the same coming home and not be able to greet "Stinky" at the door. Goodbye friend.

Is this the cat that liked to sleep with my sweatshirt, or is that the other cat?
I'll miss Cider.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your cat, boB, I know how much you and Deb care for both of your cats and I know that this loss is hard. You are in our prayers and thoughts as we share with you from afar this time of grief. May God comfort you as you mourn, even as we realize that "his eye is on the sparrow" and Cider is at peace. God bless you both.
Don and Anna
