Obituary for a cat

[Lilypad]

A dear friend wrote the following in loving memory of her cat Tux...I had to share.

RIP Tux April 2002 - August 30, 2012
Tux passed away at the vet's office this morning. He had been living with an aggressive cancer for the last 2 months.
I will miss his arrogant behavior.
I will miss the squelching from the other cats that he so loved to slap around. I will miss the dogs barking because they are stuck at the bottom of the stairs, too afraid to pass Tux who loved to stretch out on a particular stair, flip his tail, and just dare the dogs to jump over him.
I will miss him climbing on top of my dresser, then scaling to the top of my dresser mirror in order to get into the window sill located up near the ceiling in order to look out at the squirrels in the back yard, even though there are squirrels in the front yard.
I will miss him sitting on the toilet staring at whoever happens to be taking a shower.
I will also miss him taking his paw and delicately patting you encouraging you to pet him.
Mostly, I know my husband is deeply sad and hurt and will forever miss his little friend, as Tux claimed my husband as his own when he was just a wee kitten.
Rest in peace, my friend. You were deeply loved.

Lilypad, so sorry for your friends loss. Great obit for a cat, reminds me of my Petey and Zero, who both passed away in the last 12 months. I miss my little buds.

Awww...So sorry for your loss. That is a beautiful obit for your kitty. I miss my girl Nikki still. She passed in November of last year and I swear I still look for her when I come from work and when I go to bed at night. Hugs to you and let memories of your Tux carry you thru.

Cat gone.
Rug not shredded.
House does not smell.
Humans are no longer servants to feline.
Good deal for all.

This person rescues and fosters animals, she has plenty to go around but this particular cat stole her and her family's heart.
Guessin' you never had a pet, pity.

Wonderful tribute. Sounds just like a cat I grew up with. He would chase dogs up the street..... He ruled the block. RIP Tux. Thoughts and prayers to your family.

Oops, thanks for pointing that out. Still sad though.

The semi-wild cat I found on my property has now turned into the King on the Hill-he rules everything. The dogs run the other way when he enters the gated yard, the man who delivers firewood always ask "is that cat out here" and he has chased every other cat away. Yet at night-he stretches across the foot of the recliner-purring as he sleeps.
