Bristow, our fluffy orange and white catwent to kitty heaven this week.
He slept on the couch with Chris and I Monday
night and never came home after that.
Our neighbor found him curled up peacefully in his yard.
He was our first baby.
He would meow from his cat door through the house until
he found us (too often in the middle of the night).
He loved climbing into bed with us and sitting on Chris'
chest while clawing at the blanket.
He made Chris extremely uncomfortable just about every
night in the winter sleeping between his feet.
If you didn't pet on demand he would shove his wet nose
in your face and purr until you did.
He brought in live birds regularly (which was disgusting).
He was smart enough to be scared of Will
but still slept in our living room just to be near the action.
He loved keeping his eyes on us from the bushes
while we played or worked in the yard.
His neurotic ways drove us crazy sometimes
but our nights will be too quiet without him and we will
miss his greeting everytime we pull up to the house.
I hope there is an abundance of warm blankets, wet
food and pets in kitty heaven for you, titten.
Our little family will miss you!

Oh man...that is sad. I am glad though that you know what happened to him and that you are pretty sure he went "peacefully into the night". Hard to say goodbye to a pet though. Henry will include Bristo in his night-time prayer tomorrow.
I am so sorry Malia. Grief is grief and it plain old stinks. It is so weird how empty a house full of kids and toys and noise can feel without the pet that was always somewhat silent in the corner watching. That is very sad.
So sorry to hear about your loss. I know that Will was pretty attached to that cat. I will be thinking about you guys!
O, Mia! I know B was your first baby, just as Charlie is ours-and although pets get less attention after kiddos, it does not make you love them any less - what a cute kitty he was - so sorry to hear about this. xoxo
