      Dedication

      Dedicated to Sir Socks who lived between November 1995 and November 2010. The blind guy mentioned in these memoirs, who will remain nameless to protect his identity, says Socks and his three brothers were born around Thanksgiving, a holiday celebrated in the United States on the third Thursday of November. In 1995, that was 23rd. Sir Socks died 15 years later on November 17, 2010. He was ready and willing to go when he could no longer control the back half of his body. It was painful to take him to the vet to let them kill him. I don’t care to call it, putting him to sleep. They killed him. I couldn’t do it even though he had asked me to. I was honoring his last wish. He was right. He was that bad off.

      I’ve tried to be as accurate in this account as I could. It is based on the experiences we had together and what I know of him as he was. He was a curmudgeon, but he could also be sweet and loving at times. He was never a very playful cat and couldn’t always handle how silly Spot and I would get. Nor did he like to be picked up. So, I never held him long. He also hated it whenever I kissed him on top of his head.

      Sir Socks was a true curmudgeon. He was loud and vocal about his opinions, especially when things were not to his liking. He could also be quiet and shy. Excellent at jumping and teleportation. Even when wearing a collar with a bell and metal tag, I didn’t know when he was moving around unless I saw him with my eyes. He didn’t trust anyone easily. In fact, it took him time to get used to me, but then he was quite loyal. Fiercely loyal. It was worth the time and effort to gain him as a friend and ally.

      I wrote this book from his point of view and filled in as many details as I could. I had to look at myself in a different way. I learned more about myself and how Sir Socks saw me as a person. It was also painful to write at times because I didn’t fully understand or realize how I had affected him. Obviously, I don’t know every little detail because I wasn’t always around him. He had lived at least a year before I had even meet him. In fact, we were in different cities before we had meet. He was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona and I was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Both are cities in the United States.

      I didn’t get to Tucson until June 1996. He wasn’t fully grown then. I didn’t meet him right away. When I finally met him at the blind guy’s house, he was fully an adult and tended to run away whenever I saw him. I don’t recall doing anything special. I just gave him his space. Eventually, he talked to me and let me pet him.

      He was the first cat I remember living with. He trained me well. Now I don’t tend to have too much trouble with any cats. Not ones I live with or others I may meet anywhere. He was the best cat I could have asked for. Without his guidance and constructive feedback, I wouldn’t have any idea of how to deal with any cats I may meet anywhere.

      Not all cats are exactly alike, but they tend to have some things in common. Those common things are what make it easy for me to take care of a new cat and bond with them. I know I have Sir Socks to thank for that. I also learned how to handle curmudgeons in general. They notice how I treat them. They tend to like having me around just as Socks did. But perhaps not as much as he did.

      And the rest of the book is from Sir Socks, which I have translated for the rest of us to be able to read…

      Acknowledgements

      I, Sir Socks Le Chat, would like to thank and acknowledge my girl for helping with this book. Without her this book of my memoirs wouldn’t be possible. She helped me write as my translator. She is definitely a non-cat person who knows and understands me better than anyone else, except for me of course. She knew about the things I went through and how I coped on my own. She was always kind to me even when I got on her nerves.

      She is the one who put this book together. She took many of the pictures in this book. She also drew some pictures or used her graphic design skills to create what we needed to fill out what we didn’t have in photographs that she had taken over the years we were together. She helped me write and edit. Without her, I doubt I could have completed my book to share with the world.

      Oh, and I hope you, the reader, will understand that I am not perfect. I know I’ve been a loud, whiny, vocal cat. Too many non-cats would never tolerate my behavior. I was lucky to have someone like my girl to look after me without complaining about my surly ways.

      My surname has changed too many times that I can’t even keep track of. I don’t know what my mother’s surname was, even though I know who she was. She raised me and my three brothers until we were old enough to fend for ourselves. She kept us safe in a woodpile in a backyard.

      I’ve had many adventures and several homes since that time. I’ve been to the vet and hated it every time. That’s where the name changes tended to occur. It just all depended upon which human was claiming responsibility for me at the time of each visit.

      Well, to make things simpler and easy for everyone, my girl gave me the surname of Le Chat, which is simply French for the cat.

      I am a cat. The surname fits me and reflects my girl’s influence on me.
