In Memoriam: Pierre

I’m sad to have to share the news of my beloved Pierre’s death. He died at home, in my arms. His congestive heart failure was too much, and it was time.

Saying  goodbye to him was also the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my life, even though I know it was the kindest thing I could do. I don’t believe in the rainbow bridge concept — I find it disturbing and not the least bit comforting. But I do take some comfort in knowing I did everything I could to love him and give him the best life I could. And I didn’t let him suffer from something he could not understand because I could not explain.

I am heartbroken. The pillow he slept on next to mine is empty. The red dot that lives on the sofa is lonely.

I miss him chirping and rolling for attention on my desk as I sit and look at the computer monitor like I am right now. No cat will sit in my lap now or on my shoulders, and my lap is cold.

I miss his expressions. He had the most expressive eyes of any cat I have ever known, and he could say volumes with a look.

I miss Pierre very much, but I was privileged to share my life with him. And to share him with all of you. Thank you all for loving him, too.

In memory: Pierre 2005 - 2021

Santa Claus Came to Town

We had a visit from Santa! We know it’s traditional to put out treats for Santa, but in this case, Santa brought the treats for cats who were excited to see him.

Cupcake spent some quality time with Santa, too. She even gave him a little cuddle.

We hope that if you celebrate Christmas, you get to celebrate with the people you love today. Whether those people are humans or cats!

I Scream, You Scream!

Newton: What’s this? Yum!

Pierre: I saw Cupcake come inside with that ice cream, Newton. You should save some for her. 

Cupcake: Did I hear my name? HEY! Mr. Newton, I got that ice cream cone for my good behavior today.

Newton: I behaved today. 

Cupcake: Let me have a little bit at least. 

Cupcake: OK, gotta go.

Pierre: Did you scare Cupcake away by making that face, Newt?

Newton: I didn’t mean to. It’s brain freeze. 

Ashton: I want a share, too!

Ashton: Stand back, Newt, I’m going to be sure I get my fair share.

Is Your Name Cupcake?

This was originally scheduled to publish last December and never did. We thought you would enjoy it seeing it now.

Pierre: Do you like my new bed? It’s very comfortable. Don’t tell Newton it’s better than is favorite cardboard box, but it has fancy windows to let me see out. His box doesn’t.

Pierre: I really like the plush blanket in it, too. It makes naps extra dreamy.

Pierre: Just one question…

Pierre: Why do the humans who see me in my new bed keep asking, “Is your name Cupcake?”
