The globally reknowned Spubby
...has 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' this weekend.
I didn't expect so much emotional, almost physical pain to emanate from the demise of one large boned, rather portly blue eyed cat...folks from Costa Rica to the British Isles have sent loving messages and this has chisled the sharp edges off the hurt considerably. Thank you all.
The Spub was a shambler, a living room skateboard champion and cold winter day companion. He was my biggest fan and daily confidant...always purring, always happy to see me -a commodity which is in short supply some days. He thought I was wonderful and always came bounding down the stairs at the turn of a key in the front door. And somehow, just staying alive myself this weekend has seemed a tough business.
But I'm almost through to Monday, now. The Spub lies in his new resting place under the Mimosa tree out back. No more pain, no more fleas. Just blue skies.

My heart is heavy for your loss. I love my cat and dog so much and they are an important part of each day. Losing one is so sad.

I'm so so sorry! My Taxi cat is 14, and a little slow these days...
It's the day to day stuff you have to watch out for. A reminder around ever corner. Feel better.

Thank you, each one. And yes, I've already had an encounter with a forgotten brush-filled with the ridiculous fluff of it's lovely owner. An out- of- left field reminder that ended badly.
But I'm okay.

RIP Spub, and hugs to you. Losing a pet is always harder than we think it'll be.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.
I know how heartbreaking it is when a member of the family goes away never to return and I hope you'll find all the support you need to get through this extremely sad moment.
RIP Spub.
Hugs for you, Kate.

Oh, so sorry to hear that Katy. It's a year since I lost Lucy and after seeing the last picture had no idea there was anything wrong there. I hope he had a very long cat life, and know whatever the time he had a very good one. More hugs from me.
