Before Shiitake left us, he said: “Be kind to each other. Stay creative. Dream bigger. Enjoy life & L❤VE.”
Losing both our ‘sweet sixteen’ kitties made for an excruciatingly difficult year.
Shiitake has been a true blue fighter. Finding his way without best friend Orion, fulfilling his dreams as a world-class caterwauling champ, and protecting our territory all while weathering a trifecta of health issues & even surgery.
While still a yearling, Shiitake fell in the pool then immediately scrambled out, raced into the house & slammed into a wall, J laughed until it hurt while I grabbed our wild ball of dazed energy. He has been a fluffy, stinky, flippy, tree climbing, little bear.
We will dearly miss you, Bright Eyes.
Oh, MK. I am so sorry for your loss. What wonderful memories you have of him. I will miss seeing handsome Shiitake, too.
Thank you, Ann. Shiitake was a special kitty. I keep looking for them both underfoot, in the window, in my lap… 🙁
Oh no MK, I’m so sorry that you lost Shiitake. <>
Thx, it’s so quiet now 🙁
So sorry about your loss. I’ve lost four cats since 2003 and it doesn’t get easier.
Thx, I don’t suppose it does. Just give them all the love while they are with us!
M, I’m so sorry. Both beautiful boys in the same year — I have no words. Please let me know if there’s anything we can do. Much love and hugs from all of us here.
Thank you, my friend, hugs are good… petting your kitties also works.
