He was perfect. He passed some time ago but he helped me raise my son.

This isn’t to mourn him but rather to remember a dope ass cat who I spent nearly 2 decades of my life with.

He was once attacked by a pit bull, and the pit bull ended up needing stitches. Ganon was fine.

He was perfect. His vet chart has those words written 3 separate times, including one situation where “his urine is a magnificent specimen, wow” was written.

Totally unrelated … but do you know how hard it is to take a piss sample from a cat??

I ask all of you to recount your favorite made up story about ganon. Thanks friends.

    He used to hide under an old chair, my in laws gave us, waiting for my son (toddler at the time) to go to bed so he could come out.

    At bedtime he’d come out because he loved the blankets being tossed around when we tucked my son in, he earned the nickname “the tucken monster” because he’d go fucking nuts attacking sheets and blankets.

    After my son was in bed he’d join him to make sure no monsters came.

    When I’d go to bed ganon would come and make sure no monsters got me.

    He isn’t the best cat I’ve ever had, there is no top 5 or top 3 or top 2.

    Ganon was one of the cats I’ve ever had, I’m now 3 cats old. They were all the best, they were all perfect.

    Once I got upset and yelled at my kid. Ganon jumped up from his nap across the room, leapt up on me where I was sitting on the couch, and bit me gently on the earlobe.

    This isn’t actually a made-up story. The kid was my little sister, the parent was my mother, and the cat was Ebony, a black shorthair. But I thought it would be appropriate.

    I was once in a very heated argument online that I was on the verge of losing so I got up to get a drink and gather my thoughts. When I came back, Ganon jumped down from the keyboard and walked away nonchalantly like nothing happpened. I refreshed the page and the other guy deleted their account after being througholy roasted to the point of no return.

    You know he jumped off the Empire State Building this one time and he only sprained his ankle.

    His powers of time manipulation and psychic control are indeed legend. With seeming little effort (probably napping), he reached through the void of time and space to appear on my little screen and save me from feeling crappy tonight.

    Thank you Ganon!

    Not many people know this but Ganon saved my life. This was back in the early 2010s. I was strolling around my neighborhood and I was attacked by a Russian gangster, a feral plumber and 2 to 3 high strung nuns. Just when I thought it was over Ganon comes sprinting over out of no where, he claws one of the nuns right across the eye and fully exposed the plumbers crack(thus depleting his plumber powers). They all immediately fled. Ganon meowed at me and then used his paws to spell out his name and give me this lore before returning home.

    Super cute cat, I’m glad to have known him.

    Have a great day stranger 👈😎

    I applaud you for taking a pee sample.

    We had a vet once offer one “just to be super safe” and explained that there’s a special litter in the bag to make it easy. Then she charged us for it. And then she showed us the bag with basically a handful of litter that’d be barely enough to cover the bottom of the litter bin. It was then we learned to ask more questions upfront.

    We never got the sample.

      The pee sample came accidentally 3 months later.

      I dropped it off at the vet and the called confused af because it had been so long.

      So that was fun.

    Spending 2 decades with a dope-ass cat is the fuckin dream. Doing life right.

    I remember one time at a hotel, some guy was listening to his cell phone really loudly in the continental breakfast area and Ganon hopped up on his table and knocked over his cereal onto his lap.
