R.I.P. Skinny Bones

We finally found Skinny today (he never came home Wednesday night), and not the way you hope to find a friend. He was missing while I was gone and I was trying not to jinx it, hoping too much. I guess I can quit hoping now. At least he wasn’t mangled, and I was able to clean him up and dry him off so just seemed to be napping. We sent him off with his favorite toys, catnip, some of Sugarfoot’s fluff, and the last skein of yarn I finished.

He was a top-notch friend, generous and loving and brave. He will be well missed.

I’ve found that I don’t have many pictures of my sweet boy, so if you’ve visited and snapped a shot of Skinny Cat, please send it my way. It would mean an awful lot to me.

Bye-bye, Skinny Bones.
