We miss him everyday.

Taking a stroll with my buddy last summer.

Today we laid our Ed to rest on our property in amongst the maples. He's with the others now and this week I will paint a little rock to put on the grave the next time we are there. I thought I would pick a flower or two in the field to place at his spot but there was not one to be found. We are weeks behind with Spring and proof of that once again today. There should have been many. For those who are new to my blog, we lost Ed to kidney failure last December. He was in his 26th year. I know how incredible that sounds but we only adopted Ed at the age of 20 from a local shelter and he was with us for almost six years. My veterinarian told me that Asian cats have a tendency to live longer than most other breeds. Well, he proved her right and we are so happy he did.



I'm feeling a little low today but I'm also very happy to have had the priviledge of knowing him and loving him for the time we did.
Rest in peace, dear Ed. We miss you every single day and want you to know that your Lily is doing ok.

hugs, Deb

  3. My pit bull was named Ed.........he died 3 years ago at age 14, a ripe old age for that breed. But you never stop missing them.

  5. Oh Deb, that has to be very sad and difficult indeed. Those of us who have lost our fur kids can relate. I love the idea of painting the rock and planting the flowers. Lovely.

  14. What is it about the Siamese?? Boy, when we lose them, they leave such a big hole to fill. I'm coming up on the one year anniversary of losing my Tiffany and it still hurts so much. Her Siamese replacement is giving me a run for my money though. Heaven sent kisses Ed....

  15. You know, Mary, when I adopted Ed my vet said to me, "You've never had a Siamese before and I can guarantee you that you will find this cat different from the others." And I did. He was like a little person in a cat costume. So full of wonder, so affectionate and the most stubborn feline I had ever known. He loved his yard much like a dog would and was never ready to come in when called. And he had the most loving attachment to our little white cat, Lily. He really, truly loved her. :)

    Hugs!

  17. I am so glad Mr Ed came to live with you the last years of his life. He had his Lily and all of you and us as his fans! What a dear old gentleman he was. RIP Mr Ed. They do take a part of us with them don't they.

  20. Oh, Deb. Your beautiful post about Ed has me crying.
    It's so hard to lose one of our dear kitties and Ed was a VERY special kitty. They have such pure and innocent souls!
    Hugs to you. He will live always in your heart.

  22. He had such a loving home for the time he shared with you. You have my sympathy. My cat of unknown age who has 3 legs has developed renal failure. I cherish every minute with him. You are in my thoughts.

  25. We loved Ed like he was our own.
    And we will always love him.
    It is comforting to know his mortal remains rest among those who have
    gone before. His life force is part of
    the universe and will always be with
    us.

  26. What a lovely tribute. And it's so wonderful that you adopted him as an elder cat. Lucky Ed, lucky you. I still get pangs about losing my kitty Gadoo, and it's been 16 years. Lump in throat.

  27. My internet was down and I missed this. So sorry to hear you lost Ed. My Utah is 26 and I know the end is near. I'm just not ready for it. It's so nice that you have that property and can keep them all close by.

  28. I'm glad you had a special place for him, and even gladder that I got to meet him! What an amazing cat. I am still missing my SOphie so much. It's so hard when they leave us! Lovely tribute to a lovely cat.
