Often called the best, but worst, cat, you could often find Blubert sleeping, begging for treats, laying in front of (or on) important equipment we needed to use, or trying to steal food from unsuspecting humans. His favorite snacks included rubber bands and house plants. He was a prolific hunter of mice, birds, and carbohydrates, and is missed by all who knew him.
