It is with much sadness and no surprise that we said goodbye to Bagheera this morning - he was one of the sweetest, most affectionate cats ever. He was about 9 or 10 years old, but was in very poor health - he never really recovered from missing his brother and best friend, Andy. Andy was stolen in 2017 . . . the thief only stole non-black cats, so Bagheera was left when his brother was taken. At first, he lost all of his fur, entirely stress-related according to our vet, and then developed kidney failure. Bagheera did have other cat friends - Mr. Boots and Merwyn - the three often sat on the window seat together, but in the end that couldn't make up for his lost brother. I held him last night and whispered that he should wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge - and that maybe his other brother, who died as a young kitten, would be there waiting for him.
Farewell, sweet Bagheera.
Farewell, sweet Bagheera.
