Natasha Kramer, our last surviving family cat, died this spring at the ripe old age of 14 years old. Natasha, or Nat, as she was called in her later years of life, was one of our two resident cats. She arrived with her Brother in October of 2000, and got herself a headline in Issue 1 of the Kramer Paper. She was named after the villains in Rocky and Bullwinkle, due to her aggressive behavior upon arrival. We originally intended her to be an indoor cat, but several pieces of broken pottery later, the cats changed our mind for us. Nat was disabled in her later years of life, but managed to get her own cat patio, or "Catio" and was a common sight on movie nights. She was fond of Catnip, and other human-intended delicacies like ice cream and canned tunafish. She rests in the Southeastern corner of the property beneath a Red Oak. She will always be remembered.
