Title: Death in the Family
Post by: jough on June 28, 2006, 12:57:57 am

And to think I used to mock people who posted photos of their cats on the internet.

RIP Fluffy Dempsey (http://flickr.com/photos/jough/sets/72157594179807515/).

Damn, that is not good stuff Jough.  I am sorry about this.
And now slightly paranoid because 92 was when we got my cat too.

My condolences on your loss.  You wrote a beautiful eulogy for him.

I don't know why this one hit me particularly hard.  I guess I'd never really had a pet before except for a giraffe when I was a kid.  There were three cats to start, and Fluffy was the last to go, so maybe it's that he was the last?

Thank you all for your condolences.  I wasn't going to post anything here about it but I'm very upset and why would I not tell my friends about it?

I thought I posted a reply, but it seems to have vanished.  Sorry for your loss Jough.  Remember that 'ol Fluffernutter will always live on in your heart.

Eddie (http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20060627/en_celeb_eo/19365) from Frasier also passed away today.  He was 16.

fuck*ng celebrity pets trying to steal Fluffy's thunder, that's what it is.

Fluffy was way better than Moose the dog.  What would the dog do?  Just sit there and stare at Frasier?  Fluffy could stare at you so intently that you started to feel deep resounding shame.  And then he'd lift a little paw and pet you to make you feel better.

man, cats are the best.

my ex girlfriend had a cat which would sometimes come up and slap her. I didn't believe it until I saw it happen.

I should have taken a hint from this.

Jough, you felt that shame because a cat can see through to your very soul.

I appreciate your loss. losing a pet is not small beans. I am sorry that your cat, who I never had the chance to meet, has died.

Spanky and I had each other since 1991 when he left for good in March. That was a hard day for me and I know this is a hard day for you.

Sorry about Fluffy, Jough. He looks like a right honest cat. I think I'll go hug my guys.

Nooo! That is so sad. :( Dammit, I am really sorry to hear that. Fluff was one hell of a special guy. He's definitely in kittyheaven now, a place where he and Schnock can play and one never has to wear a kittyspacecollar/cone.  A place where the treats flow freely.

Gosh, his little feet do look irresistably fluffy. I had always imagined him as white, but his black and white fur is especially cute. Rest in peace, Fluffy F. Dempsey.
