Maybe at a later date I'll develop this into a longer composition, but for now it's just a brief and intense outpouring of emotion for a friend that just erupted out of me.
Goodbye Mr Tufts

He was truly awesome. Even in that pic from a month ago Tufts exemplifies such dignity, grace, and fortitude . . . in spite of the fact that he was seriously ill. If I can show just a fraction of that courage in the face of my own demise then I might have earned the right to not consider myself a weak, sniveling, egocentric human worm.
I did everything I could to help him. Spent money I don't even have. Pureed his meals in a food processor and fed him with a syringe. Stayed up nights worrying and watching attentively. It wasn't meant to be. God gave him only ten years of life on this earth.

I like the piece. Heart wrenching. Time heals all wounds but it hurts really bad right now.
Keep those emotions going. They're therapeutic.

Simon, my last ginger/orange, showed me the same, unable to chew from jaw cancer. Could be hand fed liquidy food for the last couple months. And he still purred, hunted his jungle yard, remained the bosscat with abnormally big jaw, until it had spread so much into is lunges his breathing started failing. No wonder the Egyptians worshipped them.toomanycats wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 8:30 amPartscaster wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 9:10 pm God bless Mr Tufts.

We'll be lucky if we're allowed to hang out with them in the ever-after.
