My cat refuses to drink out of his water dish. He is now also starting to reject the glass of water I have been leaving out for him, slowly manoeuvring us into a situation where he only drinks out of my water glass. I think it's a power move and I sort of respect him for it.

Many people will have many memories of Gerry. For my part, I will miss his joviality, his quick wit, his generosity of spirit, and the way he always looked out for people when he knew they were having a hard time. I will also always be grateful that he had faith enough to offer
It is with great sadness that
