And the late Emperor Norton, another Manx.
Nikon F4, 85/1.8 wide open; Fuji Superia 200. Mrs Devilkitty scanned this on an all-in-one at her office, and I'll be having the negative scanned once I relocate it. This is, incidentally, Mrs Devilkitty's favorite photo of him.

He was diagnosed a diabetic, with feline acromegaly -- which we didn't know about until it was too late -- in the mix to complicate things. We treated his diabetes for a number of years, but he developed a cancer (hemangiosarcoma), and we had to say goodbye in 2008.

I still find myself reaching for that empty place next to me on the sofa.

Norton was probably the best friend I ever had.
