Anyone who knows me knows I have a big soft spot for animals and especially for kitties so when I heard Dan was going to lose his feline friend to spinal cancer, my heart hurt. He’d done a good job of documenting Mooch’s life but I went over to get a few last images of them together. I was glad I could do it but man, it was tough. The emotions in the shots below almost killed me but at the same time, I was happy to be able to capture them. That’s a cat who’s had a good life.

Dan wrote a touching goodbye tribute to Mooch on his site.

(And while it obviously won’t fix things, I bet it wouldn’t hurt if you wanted to buy one of his fonts.)
