My sweet sweet boy Leo ♥️

I got Leo 16 years ago, a few months after my mom passed away. It was ‘take your kid to work day’ at my dad’s; all the ladies at his office had conspired to convince my dad to let me have a cat to help with the grief. Enter Leo, Leo who’d been discovered a few days earlier trotting around the office building with a Tim Hortons ice cap lid around his neck.

The following 16 years were filled with so much love, understanding and headbutts. Leo was the most gentle soul; ever supplicant, endlessly sweet and in constant meowy need of being picked up and held to the hip like a toddler. I’m not kidding, he never scratched or bit anyone in 16 years!

Rest easy my sweet Leo ♥️
