Yogi (yō′gē): noun, one who practices yoga and has achieved a high level of spiritual insight.

Yogi was a cat that lived his life fully from the heart. He welcomed everyone into our home and was always the cat to walk up to any dog visiting and touch noses. We adopted him in 2001 from Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood, Oregon when he was only 7 months old. He had lived his whole life in the shelter and was the favorite of all of the volunteers. We had gone in search of a kitten and came home with a kitty that had been overlooked for months.

Yogi could always be found laying upside down in any bit of sunlight that he could find. He was a perfect reminder to enjoy the moment and to find the good in everything. He was a handsome kitty with a beautiful tail that he always carried curled over his back. When he saw us, he would roll onto his back and stretch, inviting us to come and rub his tummy. Yogi was quiet and sweet and we will miss his beautiful spirit. We are grateful that we were blessed with such a wonderful kitty, and sad that our time with him was so short. RIP dear Yogi and know that we love you.
