On Wednesday, December 18th, 2024, we said goodbye to our little Lew. Every cat is special, but there will never be another Meriwether Lewis “Lew Batha” McCracken. Lew Lew was an old soul in a fluffy ragdoll body. He had personality and sass to spare, impeccable comedic timing, and the silliest, most impatient “mrow” — which translated roughly to “I’m too old for this sh*t” (he was only 6) and earned him the nickname granny Lew. He fought long & hard for ten months following his diagnosis in February 2024 with restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). He was truly a cat who loved life. He rarely napped and was always up and chatting, constantly asking to go outside to watch the hummingbirds and feel the breeze on his fur. He loved bathing, battles, and more than anything, being with his brother Clark. I could go on and on, but I know Lewis would be mrowing at me about now: “Give it a rest, mom—they get it.” Suffice to say, Lewis was a light in our lives, and our home feels a lot emptier without him in it. Rest In Peace, Lew Lew.

I was so incredibly lucky to spend 18 years with you, Mac. Grandpa & I drove to San Diego to get you when I was 18. Your name was almost Urie, & after an all day marathon of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, 1 thought Mac was such a fitting name. You were with me through multiple moves, heartbreaks, holidays, making the many 2+ hour drives to my Dad's, my wedding, 2 pregnancies, 1 miscarriage, a cat attack, meeting your little brother, making it to his 1st birthday & your 18th birthday. You held on for 1 more family Halloween costume & then said it was your time to go. Thank you for being the best dog & the best big brother. You were so patient & gentle, even when he was trying to run you over with his truck. You got so stubborn with your old age, but had such a big heart, an enlarged heart actually. Thank you for beating the odds for 3 1/2 more years. 18 years with you. Half of my life. We grew up together. I'll keep looking for you & listening for you tap dancing down the hall. I love you so much I know you’re playing with your big sister & all your cousins.

We rescued Hammer 11 years ago and they were great years! Always happy and hungry! He had a great personality and was friendly to just about everyone. We took him on trips to Utah for Mtn Biking and hiking, he went to Mammoth with us on several occasions and love the snow, when we lived by the beach, he loved going down to the water and playing with his brother in the waves. We would never think about traveling without him! So many of our memories' are tied up with Hammer. We will always miss and love him!

Our sweet girl Swiper loved to bake biscuits on curly hair, snack on treats, and could always be found napping on pillows. She somehow always knew when we needed comforting and would let us snuggle in her warm belly. She walked into our lives as an 8 week old kitten and left her paw prints on our hearts. We will miss her always, but we are so grateful to have shared our lives with her for 18 years.

Molly as a pup was so smart she learned to fetch within 30 minutes of bringing her home. She didn't learn the stairs as easy but was eager to please always. Very capable watch dog, loving family pet and overseen the house. She was loved by me and my wife and her buddy Toby for her last 9-year. She traveled on vacation 3 times cross country, multiple times a year in state to Mammoth and Crowley Lake duck hunting. A real trooper, bed hog in the camper and over great dog. We had a real scare @ the beginning of covid with her paw allergies and overall health and almost had to put her down then, but we got another 4 years with her and multiple more trips and fun. Even though I carted her around in a foldable wagon she felt like a princess, loved it and looked forward to it. She will be loved and missed by all of us and thought of daily, a true gem of a rescue!

Bryan our cat loved water, contorting his 13 pound body into small spaces, and running full speed banking off walls. He was quite vocal about his antics and demands. His favorite pastime was grooming his Chi sibling and antagonizing his feline sister. I’m sure he’s happily continuing his activities while waiting at the rainbow bridge for his family. Thank you Dr. Watson for Bryan’s peaceful passing.

Little Girl was a welcoming, tolerant member of my household, not afraid of anyone and always interested in what was happening. I miss her greeting me at the door when I came home from work and her looking into my eyes to determine where I was going, what was happening, and when will she be fed! She gave me a great 18 years.

Rusty came to live with us along with his sister, they were two months old. He was very gentle and loving. He had the loudest purr. He always played and followed his sister's lead. He loved to lay in the window to enjoy the sun. In the final days of his life his sister would lay next to him and she would lick him. Rusty only lived nine months. He is missed by his sister Samantha, His adopted Mom Michele and his adopted Grand Mom Marie
