Chaplin Drucker
08/1992 - 10/2008
After battling a year and a half of kidney disease, our dear
cat Chaplin went into congestive heart failure and passed
away on October 20, 2008. Chaplin was born in August
of 1992 -- Heather adopted him in
Atlanta Georgia where she lived at the time.
As a kitten, he liked to chew through any cords that might
be loose – phone, lamp, etc. A year later, Heather got him a
companion, a black female kitten named Sabine. They
played together and got along well, but Chaplin always saw
himself as the top cat in the relationship (and showed her
at times by biting her, for no apparent reason). He
was a very special cat, a friendly, sweet creature who made
friends with everyone he met -- he wasn't retiring. He
would jump in your lap on the first meeting and "head butt"
you. Randy got to know Chaplin in 1999 and immediately fell
in love with him (probably before he fell in love with
Heather :)
We were able to bury him in a secluded alcove under a tree,
to the right of the front door of our apartment.
Although he is longer with us, we feel happy that he is near
by and that we can visit any time.
He really made our life special and he will be dearly
missed. We hope he will rest in peace and only have
sweet dreams of his favorite food: chicken
