On Tuesday April 12, 2022, I had to put to sleep my beloved cat Squirrel. He was one of the greatest, talkative and funniest cats I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was about 13 years old when he passed. Not a long life as far as cats go but then his fire burnt bright.
He will be much missed. R.I.P Squirrel.

I am so sorry, John! Squirrel looks like a precious kitty. We love our furbabies. It hurts so much when they leave us. May the light of the Holy Spirit surround you and give you comfort.
The kitty in my profile picture is Meeka. Meeka means twinkle in Latin, which is why I have the name Meeka Stella, Twinkle Star. My real name is Mary. I have had many kitties. I still do. Meeka was a precious treasure. For the last few years of her life, she slept in the crook of my arm at night. We found her when she was 3 weeks old, and we had to bottle feed her. I look forward to seeing her when I, too, cross Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you. The reality of Squirrel being gone really hit me this weekend, I was so depressed.
Life must go on though. Squirrel will not be waiting for me at the Heavenly end of the Rainbow bridge, he'll be on the bridge when he hears I'm coming home.

Thank you.
This past weekend was tough for me. It's been depressing not having him around anymore. The realization of how special he was is starting to sink in.
I'll be OK, but it will take some time to heal from his passing.

Your story really stuck with me today. I even left work early just to hang out with Moose. So I opened photoshop and tinkered around. They say dogs are a mans best friend but I've never had a friend like Moose, so I know it ain't easy for you. Not that I have anything against dogs. Cherish the little one you still have. But I doubt I need to tell you that.

I went looking for a picture of one my other cats who has since long departed and came across this video of Squirrel. I estimate he was about 6 months old at the time I shot this video. Enjoy.

Catnip, ah yes. I used to be able grow catnip in my yard but Squirrel and other cats I've had gobbled up the young plants in no time.
Squirrel now has enough catnip to keep him satiated for a eternity.

I want to thank everyone who has commented on the passing of Squirrel. He was a great cat and will be missed.
I'm not without a benevolent master however. I have this beautiful and unusual grey cat, Duende. His face is what you see in my profile picture. From what I can determine, based on shape of head and those big ears, he has a significant amount of Singapura breed in him. If I decide to get another cat, I'll be looking into this breed.
So, meet the new master of my house. He is quite the handsome cat now but was a bit of an ugly duckling when a kitten. His yawn is, well, you got to see the picture in the images posted below. I've included a picture of a Singapura along with those of Duende (and Squirrel).

What a beautiful baby! My heart goes out to you. I have been there many times before and it is never an easy task. Our sweet boy passed in 2012 at 17 years old, then in 2019, 2 bonded brothers found us and made us their "forever home". I guess it was time to open our hearts once more!

Glad you have two more wonderful benevolent masters to keep you company. I suspect Squirrel is already working on sending a replacement to keep me and my other cat Duende company (he's the guy whose face you see in my profile picture).

I know he'll be there to greet me and give me the grand tour of Heaven when it's my time to leave the Earth plane. I suspect it will be quite the tour and I'll be looking forward to it.
