^ Nor have I. I think Eddie's long life was without question due to TH's and Karen's love and care. I'm very sorry, T - shedding tears right along with you. I truly believe that Eddie is in a much better place than we are now, and free of pain. Much love to you and Karen.

21 years for my lady friends cat named "Kitty". The oldest and one of the sweetest little guys you'd ever meet. The sad look on his face the day we walked in and he was sprawled out on the floor not being able to move was rough. I got to hold him along with her when he crossed the bridge though. Sad to see him go.

Sorry to hear about Kitty's passing, Plank. Your lady friend must have taken great care of Kitty to ensure a long and happy life for him. I'm sorry that you had to find him in that condition, but glad that you were able to help him cross over together.

Buddy of mine had a 22 year old cat. He was 24 when he died. That's a cool life with a cat.

TH, sorry for your loss, mate.

Here's a piece of Japanese art featuring a cat in honour of Eddie. The most beloved of feline friends, may he rest in peace.

Thank you my friend: that's truly touching.

Thank you ribbons. Looks just like him when he was younger, except he was never quite that slim.

Sorry to hear that Plankton. This is what I wanted to avoid with Eddie. His legs were going; he couldn't eat much, drank very little, I think he was starting to lose his sight and hearing, and he was just so listless, sleeping almost all the time. He wasn't living, he was just existing, holding on. The best thing to do was to let him go, even though it hurts like hell.

Thanks man. It means a lot.

Thanks Marie: this really captures the essence of Eddie.

Thank you all again for your kind words and wishes. I'm sure Eddie is partying with Ritchie and Millie now up in Cat Heaven (if anyone doesn't believe in Cat Heaven, please keep it to yourself). The three amigos have been reunited.

Kitty was her Father's cat, and always by his side until he passed, so she took him and cared for him much the same way he did. Her Father was one of the most gentle and kindest people I've met, so they were quite the pair of loving and compassionate sentient beings.

You're most welcome. Long live Eddie, Ritchie and Millie.

Thanks for sharing that nice backstory - her father sounds lovely, as I'm sure she is too. Glad that Kitty remained in such good hands.

TH, I believe that all cats go to Cat Heaven. Eddie, Ritchie and Millie are probably living it up right now - while also missing you and Karen. You and Karen should be very proud of the great care and love you provided to Eddie.

That's really beautiful, Marie - I love that. The image I posted is also Japanese, from a fabric design.

**Marie Monday** · 02-16-2021, 02:08 PM

oh cool, the one you posted is definitely beautiful too!
