    Oh, dear. Does this mean you have just lost a beloved kitty, Matt? If so, I am so sorry for your loss. From your drawing, your cat loved you as much as you loved him/her. What a little sweetie and such a loving tribute. RIP.

    What a beautiful tribute to a loyal, furry soul. Now my monitor is going all blurry because this kitty looks so much like my dearly departed Miss Kitty. She lives on with me in my memory, my once and forever cat.

    On 6/29/20 you posted a beautiful tribute of Bird taking the scenic route with Death. It helped me so much as my wonderful dog had left for the bridge on 6/26. Now here is a lovely tribute to your special kitty. I am so sorry that you are going through so much in such a short time and wish I could send you more than words. Hugs and purrs to you Matt. I hope the fellow feelings of your readers help…cherish those memories.

    So sorry for yet another loss in this time of sorrow. {{{{{Hugs}}}}}, purrs, and prayers of comfort for you.

    Each time we welcome a new pet into our homes we know all too well that their “forever” is never long enough; far too soon, the day comes for each of us when we pay the price of love. Eternal life grant unto all the beloved companions that have left this life for the next; may they bask in light perpetual until we are reunited.

    I have a great photo of the sun beaming in on the late Spotty. She was a dilute calico and had beautiful markings. It’s on the front of her box and the inscription on the top reads: “Spotty, our ray of sunshine. Your light still burns bright.”

    From Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera: Wishing

    You were my beloved companion

    You were joy and sunshine

    Then you had to leave me too soon

    Memories sad but so fine.

    …….

    Wishing you were somehow here again

    Lying on my drawing pad

    Just for awhile

    You still make me smile

    And make me feel slightly less sad.

    Wishing I could hear you purr again

    More than just a memory

    I feel your love

    Still comes from above

    With every sunbeam I see!

    …….

    Free from pain and cares and sadness

    High above the rainbow

    Someday I’ll return to gladness

    You live in joy, I do know

    …….

    Wishing you were back with me again

    Wishing will not make it so

    Still I love you and you love me too

    And that love will never go!

    Wishing you the best across the Bridge

    Knowing we will meet again

    Until that day, you’re not far away

    As we will forever be friends

    Still have memories to help me through the tears

    And the love that will last all through the years

    Till then I’ll say goodbye

    Till then I’ll say goodbye!

    Matt, they stay with you forever. Last night I dreamed about Funny Face, who left me in 2011. In my dream she was curled up half on my shoulder and half on my chest, and we were walking everywhere together, even to an eatery. I woke up remembering her soft, beautiful fur, and her complacent, cuddly being.

    I lost my beloved Vlad on Jan. 4th of this year. He died of cancer. I cried when I was given the diagnosis about this time last year. With the steroids/heart medicine I was given, we got an extra 7 months together. He always greeted me at the door, I would pick him up and put him on my hip like a human child, we would go to the sofa and sit for a while before I would change my pants. He didn’t always wanted to be cuddled, but when he wanted love, I always made sure he got it. Sometimes he would be so happy, he would drool! He always somehow got my hair on his head when he cuddled on my shoulder. When it was time, I cut my hair, tied it, and asked that it would be cremated with him. I now wear some of his ashes in an little silver sleeping cat next to the ashes in a locket for my other two kitties that passed away 13.5 years ago. I ceased to be his guardian, he is now mine.

    I’m so sorry for your loss, Matt. I love cats so much, and I know this comment is late, but I hope you will get through this hard time and remember all the fond memories with your little furball. Your tribute is so sweet, I am literally crying right now! Hope your comic continues strong!
