Sometimes a family gets lucky, and a cat shows up at your back door, eats the other cat's food, comes into the house, jumps in your lap, and doesn't leave our family for 18 years. He slept in bed with us, tucking his head in your hand , so he would not be annoyed by the light and noise. He would hit you with his paw to let you know, it is time to eat, or he wants to go outside. He would attack a pit bull and let her know who is the boss of the house He would visit the neighbors, enjoy a meal in the house and come home eventually. Everyone who had contact with clyde, realized immediately how mellow and friendly he was and all who knew him will miss him.
