Cisco Cook

Cisco, age 14, passed away August 9, 2023.

Today we had to say goodbye to our handsome, grumpy old man, Cisco. Cisco joined the Cook family as a kitten in April 2009 - being rescued from a cat hoarding situation. Cisco was one of two kittens brought home that day. His brother, Diego, has predeceased Cisco. 

Cisco earned his name from being an explorer at a young age (San FranCISCO). He loved to play with toys as a kitten and enjoyed catching mice and the occasional rabbit and bird as he grew bigger. Cisco enjoyed exploring the woods, making his debut on trail cameras to let us know he was still enjoying the great outdoors. Cisco could also be found cuddling on the back porch with his best dog friend, Sammy, popping up in the kitchen window to tell us he wanted attention (or a shortcut through the house to the garage), and reminding us he could see a small "hole" in his food dish and needed more. 

Cisco may have been semi-feral, but he enjoyed the occasional pet (letting us know by his purring and drooling) and was a Momma's boy and protector, as he would wait for her to come home from work and escort her from the car to the house. 

We will miss you, Cisco, but we are happy that you are reunited with your cuddle buddy.
