ah, my heart aches for you and your family. Much love. What to say? "It happened to us too" doesn't quite cut it. But here we are. Love and memories keep us going. Cats are the best people I know : )
Thank you, Catherine. We've been fortunate to avoid this kind of tragic end for our critters until now, though we know it is all too common. They definitely leave an indelible mark on our hearts.
Yes, so attached. One of ours left in September of last year, so the relatively sudden transition from three to one is hitting us hard. I'm sorry you lost your friend. Healing is a process. Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts.
What a loving tribute and eulogy for your dear Tucker. I think that many of us reading it have been transported back to our own moments of loss and grief after our beloved cats have died. I carry those feelings still after 15 years...
Thanks for taking time to comment, Melody. Having lost three kitties before Tucker, I completely understand the lasting feelings of loss. They are all remarkable, and they all stay with us forever. Hugs.
I think Jam would have liked Tucker. And he despised cats. Was convinced they all lived in the storm sewers after seeing one flee his advances one morning. Jam would have liked Tuckers's independence coupled with befriending everyone around to get pretty much anything he wanted. Gosh, pets are the best. Until you lose them. I suspect Jam and Tucker will meet somehow over the Rainbow Bridge. And the stories they will share !!
Tucker loved dogs. His original housing "situation" had them, so they were part of his world view. He did have a near miss run-in with another neighbor's husky who almost ate him up, but that's a whole other story. Yes, I know Jam and Tucker would have been pals here - hopefully are, right now. <3
Am I allowed to smile and laugh? Laugh at the perfect way you captured Tucker‘s spirit and character; and laugh but of course he found the body of a monarch. What else could be better for such a soul! i’m so sorry Elizabeth and yet what a beautiful tribute.
Of course he did! Tucker lived a life that brought abundant smiles and laughter - enough to more than counterbalance his irksome qualities. He had a good run, and we will miss him for an eternity. Thanks, Margaret.

My condolences. We just lost one of our kitties a few months ago and are still grieving. We get so attached to these little fur beings.
