Remembering OB, Caramel and Tiger Boy.

Now that it is spring, I'm really missing these three brothers. All three were born on the campus of University of Fukui. Tiger Boy lived only one year before being killed by a car. Caramel lived five years on campus and succumbed to what I think was rat poison (information I only later got from someone who saw him while he was stricken). I brought in the surviving brother, OB, but he passed away from illness on 1 January this year. They are survived by their sister, Maya Girl, whom I found a home for, their mother, Ragi-mama, who lives in my 'cat sanctuary', and Bigwig, their father, who is at Animal Friends Niigata shelter.

I really miss these three handsome guys. Every time I walk across campus I wish they would come jumping out of the bushes to startle me and ask me to play.
