Icy Blue Clive (better known as Mr Smooth) passed on tonight a little passed 10:30pm. Age and a never ending infection finally took over. He was the best cat ever. More like a dog but extremely persistent in getting his way. Such as begging for green peppers or broccoli (yeah he loved them, especially mushrooms) or even darting in and stealing them off your slice of pizza. He's even been known to sit on your shoulder and snatch a bite of beef from a cheese steak when you'd take a bite. He followed me everywhere and would always, always, end up on your lap. Usually without you really noticing, hence the nickname.

You could smack your lips together and he'd answer back the same way and come running. His purr sounded like a diesel engine idling and he was a perfect little space heater in the winter. No wonder Poey and Weasel liked cuddling with him.

He was born on April Fools Day and spent 13 years keeping me company. Coming home now pretty much sucks ass without he and Poey excitedly greeting me at the door.
This month is the busiest for me this year with work, life, and events. Between very high highs and these sudden lowest of lows I'm about over it. Sorry about the bipolar-esque posts, but that seems to be the way my life is going lately. Black by Pearl Jam had just come on iTunes too. Fittingly appropriate.
