In Memoriam… Alasdair

Alasdair’s life

Alasdair was my best friend, my first love, and the most wonderful companion one could ask for.

He passed away at age 15.5 on February 17, 2025.

This website is to honor his illustrious, adventurous life.

He was the most awesome cat in the world and I will miss him dearly.

His hobbies & rituals

Alasdair was very particular about his routines and had many sweet rituals, favorite activities, and quirky character traits. And yes, he had his tongue sticking out a lot.

Alasdair’s feline friends

Alasdair spent most of his life living with other cats. Byron, Snejli, and Orla all shared a home with him.

Wankershim is his cousin that he would have virtual Grey Cat Parties with.

Alasdair’s last days

Alasdair died of Chronic Kidney Disease on February 17, 2025 at OakVet.

Chronic Kidney Disease is extremely common among cats, especially British Shorthairs.

Alasdair was generally a very healthy cat all his life. His CKD progressed slowly, but steadily.

He made it very clear to us when it was time to let go. It was the hardest thing I’d ever had to do in my life.
