Goodbye, Old Friend, Good Cat

[pamelina]

When cvirtue and I chose Beowulf from the animal shelter (back in 1991, I think it was), he was such a little kitten I could hold him in one cupped hand. He was so small, we named him "Beowulf" as a joke. (Also, because then we could call him, singing, "Beeeeeeeeoo! Bay-ay-ay-oh! Beo come 'cause it's time to get fed!") But he was mostly Maine Coon

My condolences on your loss.

Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear he's gone, but I'm glad you had such a wonderful life together.

[pamelina]

Thanks for the sympathy.

Goodbye, big fuzzy beast.

[pamelina]

He was, that. Though it's amazing what small boxes he'd manage to stuff himself into, sometimes.

Excellent eulogy. Will doesn't read your LJ on vacation, I hope?

Thanks

[pamelina]

I don't think Will reads my LJ even when he's not on vacation, but if he does, that would still be allright. I'll have to tell him very soon, anyway.

Sad and sweet.

What love you shared. I'm glad you got to stay with him and found him so he can stay in his garden.

Yes, we loved that furry critter. And about 15 years is a pretty long life for a cat who goes outside, I guess.
