Pixel - le chat qui lit

We buried Pixel this afternoon, in the strip of woodland we are establishing along the east side of our land - and which will henceforward be called Pixel's Wood! Pixel's kidneys finally packed up at the ripe old age of 15 and we had to make the painful decision to have him put to sleep. He was happy and not too uncomfortable until this morning, and remained chief mickelborough moggy right to the very end.

So here are some pictures from the last 5 years which show how much he enjoyed life here in France and to what extent he supervised the renovations and gardening. They are in no particular order, but I hope you enjoy them.

Neither Pixel nor Milly were overjoyed by the trip over.... but things got rapidly better:




There really was a time that he was bigger than Hugh, but Hugh can be seen working hard at putting on the pounds!






Of course Pix was le chat qui lit (the cat that reads) and above is the picture that the logo came from.



Definitely a cat with character!
