The Post I Didn’t Want to Write

Posted on by
Smokey with Catnip Toy

I truly struggled to write this post. Every time I thought about it, even as I am typing now, my eyes fill with tears. I suppose some small part of my brain hopes that if it isn’t written down, it might not be true.

Smokey in Playpen

Last Sunday, Smokey was having the best day ever, sitting on the deck watching wildlife, supervising the cooking of dinner on the grill, and feasting on a steak dinner. The next morning, he died. It was a shock to everyone, including the vet. He had been doing so well. How could he be happy one minute and gone the next?

Smokey Burrowing under Comforter

I want to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers. Right now, Smokey is burrowing under God’s comforter or floating on a cloud watching over us.

Hug your furry friends! The joy and love they bring to our lives will live on forever in our hearts. Thanks again for your support!

  1. I am sorry for your loss. I have heard cats are sometimes like that. At least, Smokey enjoyed life to the end – no suffering. Our pets are a blessing. Perhaps it is some comfort to remember you gave Smokey a good life.

  2. I am so sorry for your loss… I can understand the pain and sudness you are feeling right now, as I lost my dear cat some years ago. I’m sure Smokey is resting happily and pacefully in the comforting cats heaven.
