"The Duddle" 1991 - 2007


My dear departed friend, "The Duddle"

I know everybody thinks that their cat is the cutest or most talented animal to roam the Earth.
Subjectivity in such matters is always the norm.
That said, I will merely state that The Duddle was the most unique character from the feline world that I have ever met.
His disposition was one of consistent kindness and attention not only toward his companion housecat but to every person or animal he ever met along his journey through this world,
(except, of course, birds, mice, frogs and various tiny beasts that would fall prey to his feline predatory instinct and formidable hunting skills).
It would take a hell of a lot of provocation for The Duddle to hiss or display anger of any kind.


His curiosity was endless, his spirit boundless and his character flawless.

Born in the U.K., The Duddle lived temporarily in the Irish countryside and later joined his female human for the journey to Canada where I had the privilege of living with him for the past seven years.
He has left an indelible impression upon my soul that no other person or animal companion will ever fill.
I will always miss you, my magical little Papa-Cat.
