Happy Caturday!

Our heartfelt condolences to Fangsy's Mama and Mr. Daddy. Fangsy was my hero and the reason I wanted to be a famous internet cat. May your trip across the rainbow bridge be dillo free.

While snuggled in my arms, our darling Fangsy went peacefully a little before 9 am.

The last few weeks, he’s been most comfortable on the sofa, so last night we all piled into the living room for one last sleepover. Daniel slept on the other sofa, and I slept on an air mattress next to Fangsy so I could lean over and put my hand close to him and let him know I was there. Radish and Fig never left his side.

Before the vet arrived at our home this morning, Fangsy made the rounds to each room. He sat in the window in my office and I opened it so he could have some fresh air. He wandered into the bedroom and I put him in the window where he surveyed our sad lawn (lol) and Fig hopped up to join him. He came into the bathroom and mustered enough strength to put his paws on the edge of the bathtub to peer in, as he’d often do when I was taking a long soak. He didn’t touch his food or water.

The vet was very kind and took her time, so I got to hold him and pet him and kiss his face. I even kissed his little toe floofs, which we all know damn well he wouldn’t have tolerated in his heyday.

Daniel and I hardly slept last night, but I woke up just as the first bit of light began to show this morning. I looked over at my darling boy and I took this picture of his last sunrise, and how it looked shining on his sweet face. My heart broke about a thousand times.

I haven’t been able to get through all of your comments yet; my eyes are damn near swollen shut. There’s an almost tangible void that can be felt in the house. He was such a presence—so funny, so quirky, and such a sweet cat. I’d give just about anything for one more week with him, but he was so ready. It’s just that we weren’t.

Once I can get my bearings, I’ll post some of my favorite videos of him—including the first one I ever took. Another is of him chasing Bean around a chair and her smacking him in the hiney. Then one of his first real playful moment with Fig, and some of him dealing with a 6 week old Radish who kept grabbing his tail.

Thank you for loving him all these years and sharing his stories, sending him cards and blankets and DILLOS.

I hope his first night in cat heaven is wonderful, and that he’s fat and fluffy again and surrounded by cat treats and puffeh toys and Saint Bean.

I do this to my human all the time.

They do it on purpose

My social media team hasn’t posted lately because I haven’t been in the mood to pose for the paparazzi. But she caught me today.

Here's a Valentine's Day idea for some of you single humans!

Getting back at an ex now means preventing a pet from breeding, as animal organizations try to find creative ways to raise funds for their neutering programs.

Happy Valentine's Day to all the humans out there.
