Requiem for Custard II

Our 15-year-old black cat, Custard II, died today at home. He was old and had gotten sick enough for us to begin thinking about putting him down yesterday; today, he was much worse. His death was gentle, and he was surrounded by His People as he passed. He was named for Custard the Cowardly Dragon (a poem by Ogden Nash) by my then-three-year-old daughter.

We are glad that he is out of pain and we miss him terribly. He was a one-of-a-kind cat; he nursemaided my daughter when she was growing up, he had Definite Opinions which he Expressed, and he frequently gave me the gift of a "silent meow".

RIP, Custard. You're the best cat in the universe still.
