After 18+ years of being in our lives every day, Mr Kitty passed away last night. He died on his favorite padded rug in my Workshop, that he always considered as really belonging to him. Despite a murderous streak every so often where he would kill one of my Squirrels, he was a good buddy and joined me in my shop every morning for coffee where he would make his superiority known to me and plan his day as I planned mine.
It is hard to let go, but life and death intertwine, and the great memories will always remain. He was a wonderful Kitty, with a soft and easygoing personality, always trusting of our touch and always giving in return. We loved you Mr Kitty, and will always cherish your memory.

Condolences. That's a great picture on the cedar fence, by which to remember him.

My cat Socrates was the same age when he left 10 years ago and it still gets to me sometimes, so I understand your loss.

Aww, Rupert, I didn't see this till just now, sorry for your loss, and , well, all comfort. He looks like a kitty of note and distinction.

Thank you Ratlady, he was a fine Kitty, and if I could go back and make his life any better, I doubt that I would do a thing differently. We let him do what cats love...just what he wanted, with the best of food and housing, warmth and affection, and a good brushing several times a week.

I wish every Doggie and Kitty in the world could live as Mr Kitty did, but we know that doesn't happen, does it?

Best Regards & Thanks for the kind words Ratlady.
