Cootie 1993 – 2010

One of our family, Cootie, left us today.

Cootie’s been part of my life for 17 years. She came to me as a wee kitten (with her sister Dusty) when I lived at Gloucester St and has been a constant figure in the kitchen, and on the couch, through a succession of houses, flatmates, towns and cities since.

For the last 15 years, Cootie has been known about town as ‘Carolyn’s cat’ – this change of primary Big One followed a successful coup (oi vey) by Ms Ride to lure Cootie’s affections away from me in 1995. But Cootie and I continued to be good friends, sharing cheese and chicken snackies when Carolyn was not looking.

Cootie, and her slacker demands of ‘meh’, will be deeply missed.
