I said good-bye to Peanut today. He was almost 17, and he had a good life. Last night I stayed on the couch with him while he hugged me. He was such a sweet cat and I loved him so much. Peanut never met a person he didn't like. No matter who came over he had to come out and see them.

It doesn't seem like it was 11 years ago that I adopted him. I will have great memories of him, especially all the hugs!
