[whitestang]

Snubby sorry for your loss. It is never easy when a part of the family passes.

 

[mr-mom]

Snubby & Mrs. Snubby:
We grieve your loss with you. Have said goodbye to many a pet over the years and it just gets harder and harder. Know you will meet your beautiful cat again, and remember the good times always.

Zachary, you were one lucky cat. Isn't it strange how big mentally strong men can be so attached to these animals. I still mourn a dog I lost over 30 years ago, when I think of him.
Well, some of us might be mentally strong.

 

[snubbyfan]

Ya know guys, I was having trouble with the stoic Injun bit.
A few times I had to stop digging and wipe my eyes.
I must be getting sentimental in my old age.

 

[tbgunner88]

Sorry to hear snubby, it sounds like he lived a long happy life.

 

[chaparrito]

Condolences. It sounds like he went easy and had a good long life with you. My oldest cat Arrow is 18. He's healthy but slowing down now. I watch him carefully. Give yourself time to grieve, but then I'd recommend going to the pound and getting another. Maybe one of the older ones that nobody wants.

 

[Bugkiller99]

Oh, I hate to hear that, Snub. They give us so much, and ask so little.

 

[walkin jack]

Doggone it Snubby I am sorry to hear that. Zachary reminds me of my Cody. Don't know how I'd handle it if anything happened to my buddy, Cody.

Prayers on the way for your comfort and peace of mind. Try to focus on all the many great memories you have. God bless...

 

[Rastoff]

Very sorry to hear this my brother.

God, grant me the strength of eagle wings, the faith and courage
to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on His spirit to carry me there.

Zachary's buddy Natayo spent nearly the entire day in a dark bedroom.
He's usually ripping around the house playing at this time of day.

 

[Targets Guy]

I hear ya Snubby. We lost Grey and Sam two years ago now and still miss them. But the memories are there and we do like to think about the good times.

 

[vigil617]

I remember when we first got him.
We were at an animal shelter looking for a cat. My wife was wandering the cages going "aww" and I was leaning on another row of cages.
Zachary reached through his cage and tapped me on the shoulder.
He went home with us.

Natayo's moping around the house. A little while ago he was yowling mournfully down the hall.

Thanks for sharing that great story, Wayne. I'm sure there are many, many more, and that they will provide you and your lady a lot of fond reminiscing in the years to come.

Almost 16 years. That's a good run for your little guy. And a blessing all around in your household.

 

[the ringo kid]

Sorry for your loss. I don't know how I'll handle it when its my buddy is called home. Shasta's about 90 in cat years.

Good cats like these can't ever be replaced, just substituted for.

 

[BigBill]

They each have a different personality. I try to get two or three from the same litter. They enjoy being together. My point is wait a while and when your ready adopt again.

I'm learning more and more how to talk with them.

 

[Arik]

Sorry for your loss. RIP little dude!

 

[Doug M.]

RIP, Zachary.

I still remember the morning I woke up and found the Squeaking Evil Demon Kitty (TM) dead on the couch, when she had been sleeping with one of her dogs.

 

[g-dad]

Sorry Snubby, No more meds and no more pain. Remember the good times and all the goofy things members of the animal kingdom do that keep us smiling.

 

[Rangerpat]

Very sorry to hear about the loss of Zachary.

Keep the happy memories of him in your heart and mind and know that you and your wife made a big difference in his life.

 

[DoubleAdobe]

Sorry for you, brother.
That was a good looking fella, and I know you will miss him.

 

[Jessie]

I'm late seeing this news. I'm sorry for you and your wife's loss.
It's never easy losing a friend. At least it sounds like he went in his sleep which is a peaceful thing.
I hope his sidekick is doing ok with this, too.
Pet friends sometimes take it hard for a while.
