Aww, I'm so sorry to hear. He was a beloved part of your family for many years.

He likes to sleep on my lap.

He's so adorable and cuddly.

Awe ... Such a expressive little face.

It's so kind of you to feed the strays.

Hazel came in from the outside but she chose us. Didn't have to catch her. That guy looks looks he should be an inside cat. After Hazel, I'm scared to introduce a new adult cat into the fold. Probably let her free in the house too early but I REALLY want that cat.

So, so, so sorry to hear of that! He was such a beautiful guy, and reminds me of a
Blue Russian we were once blessed with...for far too short of a time; (he must've dashed right behind the rear tires of our Tahoe one day, just as I put it in gear to back up, to go play golf , we felt the rear tire go over him; though previously, he had never gone anywhere close to a running or moving vehicle ; then he was flopping, of course in massive pain, dying; so I had to snap his neck. He was just a couple yrs old).
I guess I was away for 3~4 weeks, but I'm so sorry to read of your loss. Our heartfelt condolences.

We have a kitty now that—after $2,800 in vet bills, generated in only 3 vet appointments —may not survive, due to severe pulmonary disease (feline asthma). She's only 2½ yrs old

I can understand your attraction to that kitty, it's very nice looking. Looks like a snuggler.

Ohhhhh, I'm so sorry. It's heart breaking when your little one is so sick & only 2½ years old at that.

We lost a two year old cat to cancer. I think about Desmond all the time.

Sorry about your kitty.

Sorry about your kitty.

Sorry to hear read of that too. I think of all our lost ones as well.
We've lost 9 pets in the last 30 years, but it oddly feels like we've lost a lot more.
• 6 cats
• 3 Llewellin English Setters
(18) . . total in my lifetime

On a brighter note . . . we adopted & thus rescued a new kitty a couple days ago! From where she was living with approx 8 other kitties & cats—in. 'Kitty Coral'—at a wonderful educational & petting farm called the Critter Barn , in Zeeland MI (next door to where we were visiting the nationally renowned Holland Tulip Time Festival, in neighboring Holland Michigan), that accepts—in partnership with the humane society shelter, referenced below—some of their healthier cats for their 'Kitty Coral' petting area.
She was picked-up as a stray in the very rural farming area east of Mt Olive, MI.

She's suuuuuuch a little slim string bean of a Sweetheart! And well, jes, as you can clearly see from this pic, currently really needs to catch-up on the last couple months of rather inadequate and/or interrupted cat naps & deep sleeps!


I guess she spent a few days inside with the kind family that found her, before they took her to the Harbor Humane Society shelter, in Mt. Olive Michigan . . . where she got tested for everything - scoring all 100 % negative/clean; Revolutionized (for fleas, ticks, heartworms &c); given additional Heartworm prev meds; dewormer prev meds; spayed; micro-chipped; vaccinated for everything + rabies, and a pedicure!

We named her ... 'Idgie' ... as in 'Idgie Threadgoode', the Whistle Stop Café owner & Bee Charmer in Fried Green Tomatoes

Edit: and she's already acting like she owns the place! With thought balloons like: "Yeah, this'll do nicely" and "Hmmm, so much more to explore!"

Anyone see that 'O Brother, Where Art Thou' movie? . .
Idgie is... or Idgie ain't, her constituents?

I don't know but it looks pissed at you! Is there a feline version of the Monty Python troupe !
