I had hoped Grendel would make it to the first warm days of spring so he could have a few last days in the sunshine, but it was not to be. He went peacefully, at home, with the aid of a wonderful vet. In his prime a giant of a cat, part Norwegian Forest Cat, weighing 18 pounds. A true character and his death leaves a gaping hole. To say he is missed is an understatement.

Not an outdoor cat, in his last summer (2025) he discovered the pleasure of sitting outside in the warmth (as long as we were with him). He usually got what he wanted!
