Good-bye, Merlot

On September 27, 2018, I said good-bye to Merlot, a black-and-white tuxedo cat. She was the sweetest cat imaginable. Not once did I ever hear her hiss. And she was the only cat I've ever been able to bathe without fear of being scratched; in fact, she took great care not to scratch me, even though, like most cats, she disliked water. She was a real sweetheart, brought here by her best feline friend, Striper.
