Rufus, Summer 2001 - September 5, 2012

[bloolark]

Eleven years ago, I found this website Couch Tigers and discovered the pictures of two adorable former feral kittens. I spent six months trying to convince myself that I didn’t need two more cats (which would put the household number at five), and failed miserably.

On May 16, 2002, Rufus and Fetch came home.

Oh, I'm so sorry :(

RIP Rufus.

Thank you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Having several in a short span of time is so very difficult.

I worry, because a lot of the critters here are getting on in age as well.

Thinking of you.

We have at least three more very old pets around, which is both comforting (in that they've lived a long, long time) and not comforting because I know their time left is limited.

Granted, in some cases, I've been thinking that for years, so... :)

Thank you.

Ugh - I'm so sorry. :(

Thank you.

Oh, no. I am so sorry. How is Fetch taking it?

<3 to you & the household.

Fetch is actually more or less completely fine, which is good, because I worried a great deal about that. He and Rufus were best friends, but he has a lot of other good cat friends in the house (everyone loves Gus and Skimble, and Gypsy's just Gypsy), which I think helps.
