Hello Jeffrey...........
Sorry to hear about your loss of Kobe recently..........he looks like he was a really great kitty cat........your post indicates that you had a great year with him and he made you a very happy pet person.
It also sounded like Kobe enjoyed being in your company, so that's a bonus.

he'll be keeping company with Lady G, and that's good.
