Tribute to Sheffield



[???- January 28, 2009]

Sheffield came from nowhere. He was homeless for the first year of his life but after being outnumbered by a pack of unruly dogs and spending some time in rehabilitation he found himself awaiting adoption at a local orphanage. When a year passed before being ruled "unfit" for adoption, finding himself facing the end, he was taken in by a sympathetic young woman who made the last two years of his life in a Tom Cat haven. He spent his summers dominating the neighborhood cats, trespassing, mooching food, getting dive-bombed by mother birds, and causing other unknown, unreported disturbances. He occupied himself during the winter months by sleeping in confined spaces, corrupting his peers, and picking on his housemates. He was known as a general "pain in the ass" who gave nothing back to society except the excerpts of laughter his exploits provided his caretakers throughout his days. He will be missed.
