Mickey "The Mouser" Keeler

Binghamton, NY


Mickey Keeler, also known as Pussy Boy, FuzBut, Boy, Our Boy, Bobo, Beige Boy, etc, was euthanized Monday November 30, ending what had become a painful fight with Lymphoma. He leaves behind his loving adopted parents, Pamela and Gregory Keeler of Binghamton, an adopted sister, CleoCATra, who terrorized him, and a large circle of friends and admirers. Mickey had been selected from an abandoned litter of kittens at Project Paw. They appeared to have been weaned too early, and for his entire 13 years, until he became too weak, he seemed most content while suckling at one of his parents upper left arms while "making bread." He will be greatly missed, although perhaps not so much by Cleo. He had previously suffered under the opression of his late adopted sister, Marian, also a project PAW kitty. Burial will be a private ceremony at Keeler Acres. In lieu of flowers the family requests that you adopt a pussy kitty from a shelter today... or at least send a shelter a holiday check or can of cat food.

Comments:
Having buried two of my boy cats this year, my thoughts are with you and Pam. And they remain fondly remembered, as yours is I'm sure.

Our cats were from a litter I unexpectedly inherited when I adopted the Mother from Leigh's co-worker. (Then merely suspected of having a bad case of worms. The cat, that is...) That was back in 1987.

We do seem to keep adding new ones as others age and pass on......
