Isaac's life and times

This past Thursday one of our beloved cats Isaac passed away.

Isaac joined our family because he always liked to explore, even if he caused a little trouble.  Stacey was volunteering at the humane society when this sneaky cat ran past her as soon as she opened the door to their cat room.  As she was helping to get him back into the room she kind of got to like him a little bit.  Some how I agreed to a fourth cat and he was soon living at home with us.

He was always full of love and fit in great with our other boys.  He would often go cuddle up with the other cats and wash them.  He was also a great lap cat and would sit with you for hours.

In Isaac's later years, he started to not be able to make it to his litter box in time.  We decided to contain him in our bedroom with his own litter box always close by.  During this time he would usually snuggle with me when I went to bed, often times crawling under the covers and laying right next to me.  He loved to be close by and would just lay there and purr until we both fell asleep.

I have a few pictures that just show Isaac in his life, I hope you enjoy them.



Here is Isaac exploring again, when little Kyla discovers his hiding spot.


Some how Wesley didn't seem to mind the little extra weight on top.


Isaac got a little tired when he was out for his walk, and decided a nap was in order.

Again, trying to fit into any small place he could.

We loved Isaac very much and he will be missed, but I know he had a great life here filled with love.  We will miss you buddy.
