The Small Black Cat and the Sucker

[rdansky]

Once upon a time, there was a small black cat and a sucker. The black cat, who was not really a cat yet, but getting too big to be called a kitten, lived in the parking lot of the sucker's apartment building, and began making his way up to the second floor through a door that was always open, there to plant himself in front of the sucker's humble

I too am not a cat person; but that was heartrending.

I don't think I can claim not to be a cat person any more, not after 16+ years. Perhaps I'll just call myself an Ember person.

I'm so, so, so sorry. Deepest condolences from me and my clowder to you and M. You're both wonderful kitty parents.

Thank you. *hugs*

So sorry, Rich. I've been there, and I know how much it sucks.

You did the right thing. And you gave him a really good, long life.

All good things come to an end.

We had a wonderful run together. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

Virgil was very moved by your post. I couldn't read it, because I was crying. I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

[rdansky]

Thank you, sir.

Dogs that pass usually get an 'Aroooo' from those who remain. I'm not sure what cats are supposed to get, but Ember gets them, in spades.

It sounds like you were a good sucker for him.

He actually got an aroo from a neighbor's dog. I have no idea how it knew.
