One Last Voyage, The Good Ship Gus



At 6:30 pm, 7/18/07 the Gustavo Crosby-McElroy met with the rest. He was a great Cat, and his soul implied something deep and meaningful. He hunted, for food and balance. He purred, as a leader. He lead with the hand, followed by the teeth, all guided by the gut and heart.

His ears and face showed signs of the years. He bore scars, but he left more than he took. He was orange.

Gus began life in Santa Monica. He adopted Amy at the shelter for people in the same municipality. He helped Amy on her way, until he realized he could help Christopher more, and that soon Amy would need help from Arthur & Henry.

Gus is survived by a song, a story, and many the many lives he touched and scratched.

Gus was very fortunate to have people who cared for and loved him so much.
