Saturday Caturday with Brutus Jr & Faith Boo

BJ aka Bubba is my sweet "gentle giant".
His little sisfur, Faith Boomerang, loves to snuggle next to him for a nap.

Isn't he handsome, striking a pose!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

007 - Back In His Forever Home

I brought 007 inside the house on Friday evening, September 11, 2010.
We shared a wonderful weekend together,
all because he left a gift of a dead mousie on my door step.
I had been feeding him for a few weeks, but this was the first gift he brought.

He loved Temptations so very much.
He had all the Temptations he could eat.
Plus baked chicken and Fancy Feast and baby food.
And Missy Blue Eyes generously let him borrow her Blue Gizzy Quilt.
He would not leave it, he loved lying on it.
He never met his brofurs and sisfurs, but he could smell them on the quilt.

In between snacking, he told me how much he loved to be petted.
Every time I was near him, he would reach out with his big paws and pull my hand to his head.
He especially loved having his ears skritched.
I spent hours in the bathroom with him, petting him till he finally began to purr.

This is the last photo of 007 taken late Sunday night.

We had been having skritches and Temptations, mostly skritches,
and he fell asleep under my legs, on "his" Blue Gizzy Quilt.
I didn't move for hours, didn't want to wake him up, he looked so peaceful and relaxed and content.

Early Monday September 13th I took him to the Houston Cat Hospital,
so full of hope for my new kitty.
About noon they called and said 007 was extremely ill and could not be saved.

He was helped to the Bridge that day,
lying on "his" Blue Gizzy Quilt,
loved and cuddled by Dr. Smith and her excellent, caring staff.

But 007 went to the Bridge knowing he had a forever home,
a human and brofurs and sisfurs who adored him.

I have nothing of his to remember him by...
all his toys, the carrier, dishes, the Gizzy Quilt,
everything had to be destroyed.
But his ashes are home now and I have our memories.

007, you really mattered to ML & The Sherwood Bunch!
We miss you!


Thanks to Miss Peach and Karla for this beautiful graphic and sentiment.
