Squeaks was born in our home when our children were young. We have had many cats over the decades but Squeaks was special. He was a fixture in our home for nearly 20 years and everyone knew him. He was a strong male cat that trained many a dog and a few other cats that he outlived. He was calm, loving and vocal. He was vocal from kittenhood, and that is how he got his name. He lived an excellent inside, outside life with other pets and people. He was the house lion, he ran the program. We are so glad he lived the life he did and he set the bench mark on what a good family cat should be. We do miss him, and I look for him at all the spots that were his territory. Great animal. I wish everyone could have known the "squeakonator"
