On March 13, 2009, Kuhl succumbed to his struggle with old age. It took us weeks to decide that his suffering had become greater than our desire of his companionship.
Kuhl was returned to where he came from with the promise of a peaceful departure from this world. It is our belief that Kuhl has now been greeted by his Mom and that she has licked away all of his worldly pain and discomfort in preparation for his final reward.
At 19 years and six months, Kuhl had a good and long life as the superior hunter kitty on Stratford Drive.
In his retirement he enjoyed many little cans and other yummy treats. He especially enjoyed lap sits in the early morning.
Kuhl will be greatly missed and fondly remembered as are his predecessors, Level and 80 Grit.

One year later....
I know Kuhl is not here anymore but, from the corner of my eye, I see him from time to time. It is a dream-like moment when his presence is inspired by pair of black boots or a dark piece of cloth lying just out of my focus.
For many years Kuhl had regular visits from a few neighbourhood cats. I have only seen Orange Stripey kitty during this last year. He is making sure that Kuhl's beloved deck is well attended to.

A Morning Kiss
A morning kiss, a discreet touch of his nose landing somewhere on the middle of my face.
Because his long white whiskers tickled, I began every day laughing.
