Can you spare some kind thoughts? Our beloved TommyCat (17 years old)

[Flaxbee]

died this morning in my husband's arms. He and my husband were bachelor buddies for 5 years until I came along. Tom was (is) the kitty love of my life, I can't even describe the joy he brought me. I really have no words; we are both grieving, there is a huge hole in our lives now.

So, any thoughts, poems, words of comfort are really appreciated. He has been struggling for a while, but kept bouncing back to real vigor and playfulness; yesterday he took a turn for the worse and he left us this morning.


Here are some photos of him in his heydey. I might post more later, but this is what I've got now.

Goodbye, my sweet Thomas. We love you beyond measure. I know you're still out there.
