Sherlock

1999 - 2020

It was 20 years ago when I looked out the window and saw a beautiful stray black cat with big green eyes looking up at me. After several months of trials and tribulations he was finally safe and sound in my home. I named him “Sherlock” since his appearance was a mystery, although I do believe it was destiny.
With the loudest purrs and sweet cat cuddles, he was my constant companion. Always waiting behind the door when I came home and quietly padding up and down the stairs following me, we were the best of buddies, proof that it is the stray cat who rescues us!
As he grew old and frail he valiantly fought to hang on. In the end he left like quite the gentleman he was, quietly stamping his paw print on my heart.
