Harvey, the cow-cat...

has gone to Kitty Heaven to be with his recently-departed sisters, Tallulah Belle and Martha Stewart. Harvey, the former Al Catta terrorist, was one of the inbred kitties who was never really very healthy. He was a small cat and prone to ear problems. We called him Youssarian because of his social problems with the other cats. He had become quite unsteady - although he was never terribly coordinated as a young cat - and we think he died of kidney failure. The vet who saw him at the end said that he appeared to be jaundiced. Harvey was a funny guy - he once stole one of Oprah's kittens and my husband came home to find me chasing him around the house, yelling, "Harvey - you little bastard - put that kitten down!" After that incident, Harvey underwent anti-terrorist deprogramming with our head cat, Eddie. Consequently, Harvey learned to mind his manners and gave up his terrorist ways. I am sure that all his brothers and sisters who went before were waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge. Rest in peace, little Harvey.
