Jake Shirley - April 1998 - September 2014

This is my cat, Jake, he was almost sixteen years old and this is one of the last photos that was taken with him and me.

He was an adorable cat, everyone loved him and he loved everyone. He was friendly, scared of everything, and talkative. When the family would get together, he'd meow as if he was part of the conversation.

He also let the local raccoon, fox, and birds eat from his bowl.

Fat and lazy as he was, he was my friend, companion, my brother, and my shrink.

He and I were thick as thieves, we were inseparable and went everywhere together, even now I still keep his memory with me and will retain it even after my time.
