Norman died on November 25, 2002.

Norman was diagnosed with an agressive cancer in his mouth. He went from his normal bouncy Tigger-like self to a very unhappy kitty in three weeks.

Norman was born on March 17, 1988, so he had a good 14 years being spoiled rotten. He was the cat that sold me on cats - he was truly an ambassador for the breed, turning many cat-haters into cat owners. He identified with dogs since he spent his first six months of his life living with them -- he walked on a leash, he fetched a ball, he came running when you came home.

He is survived by his furry brother, Eppy, who will be an only cat for a while.

He will be missed but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him
