I use “him” not “her” because the voluntary “lickers” among my cats have all been boys.

‘Cat’ (her name), whom I have served since she was about 7 mo old, became an avid licker, I would have to force her to stop.
Now that she is gone (couple of weeks now), I am sorry I stopped her from doing something she obviously enjoyed.
I did get a substitute, a 6 month old black - boots and a white swatch on his belly. Must have been selected by Cat cause this little terror seems intent on keeping me busy enough to forget her...it wlll never fully happen etc..
We never forget the kitties that have blessed our lives....they live on in our memories.
