I’m so sorry for your loss. While I’m not normally a cat man my wife’s three take turns “babysitting” me. Her black one at present is laying on my chest. We’ll have shift change later, the calico will take over in a couple of hours.

Damn Stick.
Im sorry.

It’s amazing on how some “animal” becomes such an integral part of our lives and family.

Im going to have to do a few extra laps around the park with the dog.

I just lost my girl the day before Mother's Day.

I can't imagine those circumstances.

Dammit thats terrible. I worry about this often when my kitty crosses the two lane here. Just when I think he understands No and Okay, he blasts off like a rocket. Sorry you lost your pet friend.

Oh man, that sucks. Losing a fur friend is one of the worst things we face. At 62 I’ve said goodbye to numerous cats and dogs over the years, never gets any easier.

Thank you guys for the kind words. He used to always come see me when I got off work and come up to me in the driveway. It’s gonna take time to get used to him being gone. He was more like a dog than a cat. Extremely friendly even to strangers. He had been losing weight and becoming less agile so I really don’t think we had a long time left with him but damn.
