Goodbye Schminty…

*Zaphod was also known as Zaph, Schminty, Za-a-a-aph, the Breeb, Box, Zaphini, Zox-Box, Pod, Yin, Plodhops, Franscina, Henry-Mancini, the-Heber, Bambalini, Mowglee, Mr Populär, very fine Chicken, that fucking cat, very fine whine, Liebling, Pitt-Bull-Terrier, Artsebarsky, Chief Roboticist of the Ponds Institute, Mannesman, the Komplaina, Robert de Hero, Kleine Rotte, Bog-Breath, the Boyfriend, Frederick de Friendelick, Hasenfuss, Schmint, Scminterini, Chicken-with-legs, the Man from Del-Schminty, Henry Rancini, day-nurse, night-nurse, the Liefheber, Schminterriffic, da Funky Homosapien, Doktor Tschekov, monuglavic beanie, to name a few.

After 16 years of close companionship we buried our dear feline friend Zaphod under a birch tree in the garden. It’s a spot where the view is fantastic and the sun hits it for a long time.

Zaphod, named after Zaphod Breeblebox for reasons partly due to his Devon Rex heritage, is sorely missed.
