Gentlemen, it is with some measure of sadness that I must report the passing of long time workbench companion, Dave the cat.
Dave made his UAMF debut one chilly night in January 2008 during a Blitzbau, and became practically an honorary forum member. He dedicated his life to sleeping a lot, and was an accomplished sandwich thief. He has two confirmed laptop kills to his credit, method of choice being to upset the nearest beverage all over the keyboard with his tail.
An excellent accomplice for 16 years, who shall be sadly missed. Godspeed, you furry little b....

No matter their annoying foibles, they get under the skin, may he annoy non-modellers in his afterlife.
It's only pain, work through it.

Sorry to hear that, Steve. Losing a companion is always tough.

Condolences on losing a mate. They are the most exasperating lovable little blighters in all creation. As a wise man once said: "Pussycats is the crrraziest peoples"

Re: In memoriam: Dave the cat
Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen. At least he didn't suffer a protracted illness or anything like that. It was very comfortable and peaceful for him. I have put him to rest under the Japanese maple in the garden, and shall lay a nice concrete slab as a marker.
Would ya like to learn to fly? Would ya? Would you like to see me try?

Sorry to hear, Steve. He'll be there waiting to pounce on you, when you leave this plane of existence.
Re: In memoriam: Dave the cat
Rest in peace Dave. I will give our Kizzy Kat a hug on your behalf. Sorry for your loss Steve.

Most annoying phrase.
"It's like a death in the family".
Wrong!
It is a death in the family.

Wrong!
It is a death in the family.
I wish, that I knew what was doing!
