Aremid arrives  − 15 May, 1996

For some reason, I always consider Aremid's birthday to be February 1, even though he was clearly older than 3 1/2 months old when I picked him up from his first home, a rural residence in the outskirts of Durham. No, I didn't rescue Aremid. He would've been thrilled to have lived the life of an outdoor cat. He probably wouldn't have lived for very long, however.
