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.
How sad! John and I feel your pain.
Hi Nikol,
I’m so sorry to hear this. Hugs to you and all who will miss Skinny Bones.
Oh, this is NOT what I wanted to hear. I am so, so, SO sorry. You’re all in our thoughts & we will squeeze our babies extra hard and give them some yummies in honor of Skinny tonight. What a beautiful boy.
oh no!
i’m so sorry Nikol
xoxo
Awww how sad :( I’m so sorry!!
I have a lovely cat myself, so I can sooo feel with you….
May he R.I.P.
I am so very sorry.
I will look through yarn school 06 pics and see if I have any.
I am so sorry to hear about Skinny.
So sorry about Skinny Cat. I’m glad you were able to find him and give him a proper goodbye.
I’m really sorry. :(
OH dear, I am so sorry!
My sympathies are with you. He had a good home and lots of love.
So sorry to hear about Skinny Cat. We had our own Skinny Cat and lost him a few years ago. I hope they are playing together now and thinking it’s cool they have the same name.
Oh, my sympathies. :-( I’m sure he was a very well loved kitty.
One of our kitties and disappeared two weeks ago and I’m hoping that we don’t find him the same way. :-(
Nikol,
I am so sorry to hear about Skinny Cat, losing a friend is hard. I’m glad you at least found him so there could be some closure.
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about your sweet kitty. I’m having kitty issues myself, and my heart is breaking for you. What a terrible and sad thing. I am very sorry for your loss.
Oh Nikol, I’m so sorry. ((hugs)) Losing a pet is like losing a family member.
Oh! I am so sorry Skinny Cat is gone. I am glad you were able to find him and send him off surrounded by things he loved, but oh. I am sorry that you found him like that.
Sorry about your cat! Yours looks a lot like mine. :(
Oh, dear. I’m so, so sorry.
I’m so sorry to read about your sweet boy. I totally feel your pain and I send you hugs. The send-off you gave him was sweet and perfect for him, I’m sure. Like a tiny, furry pharoah, he will go to his next life armed with all his favorite comforts.
I’m so sorry.
I had to put my kitty down very early Sunday morning this week. I’m sorry to hear about your loss also. Many hugs for you!
HI there –
I just stumbled across your blog today, but have to send my condolences. There’s too much of this kind of sadness going along in crafty blog land lately. My cat and I both would like you to know that we are just so sorry.
:( i’m so sorry!!!!
Oh, I am so very, very sorry to hear about the loss of your kitty. Take care.
I’m so sorry for your loss!! My heart wrenched just reading it. (((HUGS)))
Nikol, so sorry to hear about Skinny. if i remember from Yarn School 06 he was quite a charmer. really sorry for your loss. take care.
Ditto along with comments above.
Mum said when someone passed away, they have gone to a better place where angels and fairies live and play. Am sure Skinny Bones will be amongst them all.
I am so sorry for your loss. They touch our hearts and lives, our wonderful little friends…
I’m so sorry to here about the loss of your beloved cat. I just lost a very good pet lately and feel your pain. Knit to help you feel better, and make something in honor of your cat.
