In Memoriam - Casey Jost, 1994 (?) - 2008
It was a very sad morning today - our sweetest and most perch-errific cat Casey died. She had not been doing well for a couple weeks, and she finally went to Kitty Heaven this morning at 7:45.
Everyone who knew Casey knew her to be among the friendliest of all cats. She was never one to hide underneath a couch - rather, she was always the first to jump on the lap of the nearest person. She purred up a storm, and she loved getting in people's grills.
We will miss her very much, and while we treasure the company of her sister Benny, Team Jost is one member shy now, and she shall never be replaced.
As you can see from these pictures, somethings that Casey loved were:
- Boxes of all sorts
- ZPJ's belly
- Perching in high places
- Posing for the camera
- Her glorious neckbeard (unclear whether she loved that, or whether it was just us who loved it)
- Her incomparable stripes, especially on her nose
- Frolicking in the grass and plants
- Being paid the proper respect due to a cat of her greatness
- Catnip
- Cuddling with her sister
Her mommy and daddy miss her very much already, and will always hold a very warm place in their hearts for her bossiness and stripeyness.
A special thanks to all of her friends who shared in her life, who scratched her ears and kissed her nose. She loved each and every one of us, and demanded that we love her back.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The great Queen of Stripe was a magnificent girl and I will miss her muchly. This is a great tribute.
Thank you for this -- a loving and lovely tribute to a loving and lovely cat. My thoughts are with you both in this sad time.
