The Passing Of Piper

Cattus Mortuus Est!

It is with heavy heart that I read of the loss of one of Laurence Simon's beloved cats this morning. Laurence has made a cottage industry out of catblogging, and his cats are quite literally known around the globe.

Piper, the smallest of his cats, headed off to the Great Litterbox In The Sky this morning due to complications from an enlarged heart. She didn't have the panache of Nardo, or the august presence of Edloe, or the out-of-control fuzziness of Frisky, but she did have the cutest set of cat toes that poked out in front of her nose when she slept!

Adios, Piper! You'll be missed! Who's gonna beat the stuffing out of Nardo now??
