Awww!!! What a sweetheart! It's odd how attached we become to animals. It's almost as if they aren't animals but family. At least it becomes that way for me. Very sweet post.

A touching goodbye and a beautiful way to share your loss with us. Smokey - gone but most certainly not forgotten. You’ve done them proud.

Dang. I feel this one. I also had a beloved cat that would do this on my drawings.

I have a yellow paw print on my drafting table where Smokey took a walk across a wet painting. They just have to be in the middle of it all. Sorry about your cat - hope you have plenty of warm memories.

Thanks. We do. Glad you have hours. That’s a beautiful memory. This was Kitty Meow Meow who’d be the main character in my kid’s comics.
