Tsarevich Ivan, Feb. 13, 2005-Nov. 8, 2021, was my heart and soul cat. He was always nearby in the same room, same chair. He would reach out a paw to keep physical contact. This is my favorite picture of us. I was working at the computer and he sat on the desk reaching a paw touching my hand, arm and the side of my face. I snapped the picture using Photo Booth just as he gave me a sweet Ivan kitty kiss. To me, this image depicts our loving bond. Always in my heart. "Unable are the Loved to die For Love is Immortality, Nay, it is Deity—

Unable they that love—to die For Love reforms Vitality Into Divinity." ~Emily Dickinson
