Although I only knew Cookie for about a year, he gave me enough memories for a lifetime. Ever the mischievous, sheepish yet lovable guy, he amazed you constantly with his unique and unmatchable combination of ballsyness and sheer timidity. My favourite memory of Cookie perfectly encapsulated these characteristics beautifully. Seeing him perched over our dog's food bowl, nonchalantly looking up at me while behind him sat our dog, bemused and confuddled by what was happening right before her eyes. Any other cat, and our dog would have been all over them, but Cookie always exuded a cool demure that infected everybody he ever came into contact with. And he would usually attempt to come into contact with them as frequently and as vigorously as possible.
A very special cat, and I feel honoured to have been able to call him my own, if only for a very short period of time.
R.I.P. Cookie. Forever in my heart. x
