Montreal's most famous cat, Dr. Ropes passed away peacefully on March 9th at the ripe old age of 22 (about 120 human years.) A long-time companion of both the King family and the Optative Theatrical Laboratories, he will be missed.

A long-haired orange beast, he made headlines when being the first cat ever to receive a doctorate. In addition to being a superb bird-hunter, catnip enthusiast, and friend, his ongoing work in the department of Ontology at OTL has made headlines. In the meta-play CAR STORIES: WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD? - his work was nominated for the $100,000.00 Siminovitch Prize in Playwrighting.

Dr. Ropes will be dearly missed.

In lieu of flowers please offer a donation to an animal rights charity, such as PETA.
