On a cold 2018 winter evening while I rested on my recliner, Klyban sat in front of my piano licking his paws. I had my “daily routine” notebook nearby, so I decided to make a sketch of my kitty. Little did I know that he would be the inspiration for a children’s chapter book that I finished in March 2019. (He played a major character.) Unfortunately, Klyban was diagnosed with lymphoma. My husband and I tried to help him as much as possible, but on June 26, our beloved kitty had to be euthanized to end his suffering. We stayed with him to the bitter end in our vet’s examination room, crying and comforting him until he passed away. I don’t need to look at the Header or pictures to remember Klyban. He was part of our family, and a special kitty that will forever linger in my heart and brain.
