Rascal (aka Tabby, Belly, Malicous, Malibu, and the ever popular Tabby Lynn Taberson) was a sweet natured cat. She never was late to a meal.  She would sometimes come and lay between mine and Maria's pillows just to say hi.  She often played the role of 'blanket warmer' to mt wife.  My wife, Maria, got Rascal a few months before she and I met.  Tabby took to me right away, though her sister hated me, LOL.  She loved to lay under the lamp like she was tanning which is why I gave her the nickname Malibu.  She was always a great friend.  She stopped eating this past Thursday night, and got very sick early this morning.  We got the devastating news that her time was very short, and to spare her any unnecessary suffering, introduced Jesus to our wonderful daughter.  We will miss her terribly.
