For years, Ryder slept in our bedroom in a basket that seemed too small for him. When he was my mother-in-law's cat, we used two identical baskets to pack her meals in and then to pick up the dirty dishes. When she passed away, the baskets sat idle until one day we found Ryder in one of them. I added a piece of sheepskin and he claimed the basket as his. About four years later, I decided he need a new piece of sheepskin. He never got in the basket again. Don't mess with the castles of royalty.
Ryder is one of our cats. He originally belonged to my mother-in-law. She had a hard time deciding on a name for him. She toyed with "Nickel" and "Baby" but neither name felt just right. The Ryder Cup golf tournament was held in Rochester that year and finally she decided on "Ryder Cup." Ryder soon made it apparent that he was of royal standing and thus became SIR RYDER OF CUPP.
