Irreplaceable 'Olllie' who has been with me for 13 years.  In-between, he spent time with two fantastic friends who seem to make better choices and live more stable lives than I have ever managed, which means I can very gratefully say he is still with me today.  Aside from beating up his first girlfriend in his poor, confused youth he has simply been the perfect stud and a lovely cat to own.

I stopped counting, quietly and boastfully to myself, a long time ago how many titled cats and best in show winners he was siring, bred by me and others but they are many.   I can't bring myself to replace this photo of him, looking lovely in his younger days, because he's a bit of a scruffy old bloke now.  It often occurs to me that I rarely see him wash these days but the girls, on whom he's still particularly keen second only to his dinner, don't seem to mind.
