So long Moo
My friend Dee just lost her cat Mickey and wanted everyone to be able to see what a wonderful cat he was so I am posting his pictures here. He is now keeping our cat Roo company in a much better place than this.
From her letter to Moo
To Mickey: I hope you realize how much you were loved and adored. Your daddy thought you hung the moon and plugged in the stars. He walks into the house everyday greeting you with his customary, “Hi, Moo,” because he feels your presence all throughout the house. He misses holding your paw at night while you sleep together. I miss the ‘plat, plat, plat’ sound of your big boy, six-toed paws walking across the kitchen floor. And I miss you purring on top of me while I was watching tv. (I really did not care that you were in the way of the TV, even though I jokingly told you that I did.) And we both miss the way you worked the room for a bite of whatever we were eating. We miss you greeting us at the front door and screaming for us to feed you your wet food. We miss how you lounged directly outside of the bathroom while one of us was in the shower, waiting for our safe return to dry land!
You touched our lives immeasurably with your heart and your kind and gentle soul. We thank God that He blessed you to be a part of our lives, even though it was not for as long of a period of time as we had hoped. I guess Heaven must be in need of another angel. And they don’t get more angelic than you.
In time, we will all be together at the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, you are with us in spirit; healthy and happy and forever purring at our side.
PS. It was okay that my meatballs were too spicy for you. Tom was just kidding when you refused to eat a bite of one, and he looked at you and whispered, “I’d run if I were you.”
To Juliet, Lucy and Girl: Please show Mickey around the place, okay?
To Jerry: Another angel will be joining you shortly. Please take good care of our Mickey and tell his some of your jokes. Mickey loves fleece blankets, making bread on anything squishy, and sleeping in sunny spots. And chicken.

Sweet Mickey Moo…I am so sorry for Dee and Tom.

Aww, Dee, I am so sorry. I, too, know all too well the heartbreak of losing a furbaby. That Mickey looks so much like my Lucy, who disappeared nearly a year ago, brings is so much closer to home.

I’m so sorry about Mickey, but he certainly is there with Chester and Jerry enjoying the sunshine and all the catnip he can roll in!

Dee, my deepest condolences in the loss of this precious kitty. I already was crying after reading the tribute on TDK, now I’m crying again after reading it here. Beautifully written.

What a beautiful much loved kitty he was! Dee, that was one of the most beautiful and most touching eulogies I have ever read.
Rest in Peace dear Mickey Moo.

Dee & Tom, what a beautiful tribute to Mickey Moo. May your memories ease the pain of his crossing the bridge until you meet again. Bless all of you in this time, RIP Mickey (p.s. look for Kinker ~ grey tabby with a huge heart full of kindness, he will show you around too).
