Writes Gary Smith: “Everything I know I learned from my cat: When you’re hungry, eat. When you’re tired, nap in a sunbeam. When you go to the vet’s, pee on your owner…”
There’s no sunbeam too small for a cat nap, but the early April sun gave forth voluminously today, and my parent’s cat, for whom we are catsitting, took full advantage. His name is Mookie—and my wife, Katie, caught him in this shot.
Mookie’s 19 years old and named for Mookie Wilson, who the Mets traded to the Blue Jays in exchange for Jeff Musselman and Mike Brady on August 1, 1989. Wilson’s last appearance with the Jays was October 6, 1991. So, our cat Mookie is ~19 years old.
