Here he is the day we got him from the shelter:
And thank you to all of you. I didn't really expect any response, but...I appreciated those, knowing how much some of us love our pets. They aren't people, but they give and take love too.

Losing a beloved pet is no trivial thing.
The Lord’s Peace to you and yours.
All our guys are from shelters. Hurts like hell when they go.
Beautiful kitty. So sorry for your loss. We’ve had to put down a few cats and dogs. Each one with their own personalities. Hugs.
love that pic! orange cats are the best. we adopted an adult orange cat that lasted about 14 years after we got him. He was THEE coolest cat. He loved to go to kmart center and trigger all the electronic doors then sache into the store to visit with every single person. He would also jump in people’s cars and not want to get out. We also have a retirement home near our house and every resident knew Norman! He was famous in certain circles!!
What a cutie. I feel your loss.
Sorry for your loss.
We lost our dog in February and my daughter took her two cats from our house to her new place.
So was catless.
as well as chickenless.
Found a little female online, a tabby with black brown and white muted stripes.
Potato.
She is still in the knucklehead stage but she will be coming around. She is intelligent and that is what I like in cats.
PS: Nov 4th. is the anniv of my girl being put down. She was fourteen, old for a border collie.
I wasn't doing so bad reading this thread till I saw your picture of him at the shelter.Now everything is blurry.
God bless you FRiend.I'm off to roll on the floor with my 18 yr old heeler.
You’re Welcome, I’ve had so many Critters it’s almost hard to remember Them All. Dogs,Cats,Racoons,Guinea Pigs, Hamsters,Fish,Turtles but Mostly Dogs and the Bigger the Better IMO.
I’ve gotta fix some missing Pics on My FRHOMEPAGE, I’ll ping Ya when done.
Hang in there.
I’ll argue with you a bit, there. They may not be people exactly like us, but they are people in their own right. They have personalities, likes and dislikes, special pleasures. They even seem to pass jobs along, sometimes. We had a cat we called Challenger, or Challie. He looked very much like your kitty. He was born the day the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded, and adopted by us about 6 weeks later, to give our Jeffyr kitty a companion to (replace isn’t the right word, but it’s all I’ve got) his sister, our Lady kitty, who died the day Challie was born. Jeffyr was my wife’s special Kitty. He slept on her pillow, and calmed her when she was troubled. Challie was trouble on four paws. On the way home from the pound, he decided to sit under the brake and clutch pedals, and once he got there, he found a place to get stuck that had me tear out a stub wall in our brand new mobile home. He taught my wife to play fetch. When he couldn’t get either of us to play fetch with him, he got a string, held it in his mouth, and ran around the base of a stool we had. Dropped the string, adjusted his grip, and ran again, with the end of the string dragging in front of his nose so he could chase it. Wife about died from laughing! We decided it was a good thing he didn’t have thumbs, or he’s have taken over the world. Many years later, when Jeffyr passed, Challie moved to Jeffyr’s spot on my wife’s pillow. When Challie passed, another new kitty, Opposition, took his place there, and now there is Cotterpin Doozer, who has appointed herself my wife’s keeper and caretaker, and tries to sleep on the pillow, at her feet, and plays Velcro Kitty on her chest when she’s not in bed.
Wife and I both still cry now and again for Jeffyr, and Lady, Challie, Comet & Opposition, and we know that if we live long enough we’ll be crying for Hoshi, Pixel, and Cotterpin, one of these days. And Shannon, Tupey, and Orca, the canines who also have guarded our sleep and made us know that someone loves us.
Those are just the loves for the 37 years and change we’ve been married. I commented on the Rainbow Bridge, but my comments were more for you than the FReeper who posted the poem. I’m happy you have photos of your friend. We’ve lost most of ours, over the years, and moves from my 24 years in the Air Force, among other things.
That’s a nice looking cat. I feel your pain.
Handsome fellow (I’m sure he would agree.) What’s his name?
Sorry for the loss of your cat/friend.
Prayers for you, I know it is hard. I hope you have a new cat to love sometime soon.
Awwwww! He was the cutest baby boy ever!
