Hissy Dalton (2008-2025)

Hissy "The Kid" Dalton was born sometime in 2008. Her exact age is unknown because Jerry found her as a stray at his workplace near the Salt Lake International Airport around 2008. I gave her the birthday of October 29, 2008.

Sadly, Hissy passed away on May 19, 2025, from causes related to age and respiratory issues. She is sorely missed.

Her Feline Majesty was aptly named. She hissed in reaction to sudden movements, or at the sight of other cats. Some of her strangest habits included licking plastic bags and drooling when we scratched her around the neck or under her chin.

Hissy eschewed moist cat food for the most part, preferring Sunkist tuna for breakfast and dinner. She loved greenies and vanilla Greek yogurt, and was known to become attentive when chicken is being cooked and eaten.

She spendt her days in a comfy cat bed, which was located in a chair behind my desk in the computer room. She particularly liked sleeping on my pillow at night, just above my head.

Hissy has her own Facebook page, now a memorial for her.
