In Memoriam
Shannon P. Catt
A beloved lap cat who gave his family love and devotion without reservation for nearly 15 years.
And said…“no chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery,
Thy songs were made
for the pure and free,
They shall never sound in slavery”
Final verse of “The Minstrel Boy,”
A traditional Irish Rouser
So long, old pal Shannon

Aww. Shannon P Cat. He always makes me think of this picture these days. I remember him well, even though I’m pretty sure I was allergic to him. As far as cats go, he was top of the line. He overlapped with Jack, but just barely. Come to think of it, Shannon P. Cat and our dog Annabelle both passed the veil of tears at approximately the same time. I wonder why Pop didn’t opt to get any additional pets post-Shannon.
