Goodbye to a Good Cat.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Goodbye, my good McLendon Cat. Thank you for the 17 years of companionship and love. Thank you for all your kitten antics, for the dead rodents you brought home, for adopting my nephew for a while and sleeping in his bed every night. Thank you for being the peaceable one, when other cats were wanting to pick fights. Thank you for finding your way home after we were so sure you had been lost and killed. Thank you for adapting so well to being a one-eyed cat, after your bout with glaucoma. Thank you for putting up with busy humans who didn’t want to pet you all the time, though you would have preferred that. Thank you for going with so much dignity, and for waiting for me to be able to let you go, even if it was a little past time and you were more than ready.

Goodbye. I’m going to miss you, tiger. :frowning:

He looks exactly like on of my Gingers.

He did well to get 17 years, and yes, you are right, it is something of a privelege to have a soul like that around - which is what I got from the OP.

I’m sorry to hear of your loss. Sending supporting thoughts your way.

5

This is not a good week for beloved pets.

I’m sure that McLendon is jockeying for cushion space with Zoe right now.

Good hunting, Cat.

I’m sorry.

You know, it’s at times like this I wish there really was a place like the Rainbow Bridge. Glurgey of me, true, but I’ll keep on hoping.

I’m sorry for your loss. That’s a remarkable age for a cat.

It sounds like he had a heck of a life, and a good family. You’ve reminded me to give my little mini-poodle a good squeeze and petting, because you never really know how much time you have left with them.
