Stripes aka “the goodest boy, Strippers, Buddy” crossed the rainbow bridge today around 1:40pm at Northstar Animal Hospital in Robbinsville. Born to a stay cat at Mercerville Animal Hospital, he was named “Froggy” by vet staff before being renamed Stripes when adopted on May 18, 2011 by Kylie and Angela. Stripes was a feisty kitty, loving to chase the red laser up Joe’s legs, play fetch with his ball, and pounce on a 5 year old Kylie as she went by. While his kitten engery may have subdued with age, his love of snuggles and boxes certainly did not; if there was an empty lap or box, Stripes filled it. Stripes’ talents include, but are not limited to, bird calling, climbing on Angela’s shoulders to chill, slipping through your legs out the front door, attempting to rid the house of tape and balloon string, knowing exactly when it was feeding time, being patient with the other cats (Steam and Ursula), putting Steam in his place when his patience finally wore off and he had enough of his crap, being patient with kids always, sitting patiently at the dinner table in a seat (thinking he is people), hearing a tuna can open from anywhere in the house, and knowing exaclty when it was bed time because he wanted to snuggle. Stripes was the best snuggle buddy; he was always so loving and sweet. Stripes is survived by his human family: Kylie, Angela, Mike, and Luna and by his cat family: Steam (brother and tormentor) and Ursula (his stalker). Never goodbye, only until next time because we will meet again. We love you buddy, always.
