Kevin Drum started the tradition of Friday Cat Blogging on March 14, 2003 featuring pictures of his cats Jasmine and Inkblot on his Calpundit blog.
Via Rook’s Rant I learned that Jasmine has died, probably of heart problems at 9 years old.
She was the first, and I wish her safe passage over the bridge.

Sad. I remember pictures of Jasmine in the old days of Kevin’s blog. She will be missed. Thanks for letting us know.
She is a piece of blog history and her passing deserved notice.
I read that too…right after they took that photo on the Virginia Ham package (R.I.P. to the orginal Cat-Bloggie Furkid!) And so many pets passing away – Stan has lost two dogs this year too.
There are a lot of us with older pets. It will happen.
