Yesterday just before noon, Elliott passed away. He laid down in the sun and went to sleep forever. He is now in heaven with the Spousal Unit.
We got Elliott in July 2010 when he was about 8 weeks old. We didn't want a cat as we had just lost a cat we had rescued. But, we were sure glad that we got him. He gave us many years of laughter watching him enjoy life.He loved his food, the sunshine, and having the privilege of going out onto the deck at 6 am in the warm weather. He had no desire to be an outside cat. He had the life of a king living in our house.
He gave me the company I needed after the Spousal Unit died. He always met me at the door when I came in. He always walked me from the bedroom to the kitchen in the morning. And he loved to talk. It is these things that I will miss as I adjust to living alone.I will miss him dearly and, at this time, will not be getting another cat. There is no cat that will replace him in my mind.
Rest in peace, Elliott. I know you are purring away with the Spousal Unit. I will miss you but I know you are in good hands with him.
So sorry for your loss, Ann.
ReplyDeleteSorry about Elliott - kitties certainly add a lot to our lives
ReplyDeleteso sorry about Elliott. Hopefully at the right time another cat will enter your life . Elliott was a beautiful cat and it sounds like his passing was peaceful.
ReplyDeleteOh, no. I am SO sorry to hear about Elliott passing. We have had our cat since 3/17/2013, and he was about 2 then. I cannot imagine your sorrow. He was such a good buddy to you. Maybe consider another, after some time passes. Marianne
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet boy. I always looked for mentions of him when reading your blog. Thank you for sharing him with us. He was so lucky to have a wonderful life with you and the Spousal Unit!
ReplyDeleteI’m so very very sorry for you. I know from many similar experiences how heartbreaking this is. Let the tears flow when you need to - it does help - but only time dulls the pain. Cherish the memories.
