GOOD BYE ARTHUR

After 18 years of life together, Arthur fell asleep forever. He was sleeping on a chair when the vet came. He didn't even wake up he just opened an eye and closed it when he saw that it was me. He didn't see the vet. He just continued to sleep and after he had gotten the final shot without moving a bit he was gone as you say "over the rainbow bridge"

You can easily imagine how hard it is to loose a family member, but it was really time for him before he started to suffer. Despite the fact that he ate a lot, he was so skinny and all bones. The outside of his ears were infected and apparently he had started a skin cancer which happens mostly to white cats.

I am not able to write more I feel as if somebody has hit me with a hammer and Mr. G. couldn't hide some tears. I join a few photos of his life. He was such an intelligent, social and funny cat, we had so much to laugh about him with all his adventures. I will write about him when I can.

Now Rosie is the only "child". When she arrived they were four and one after the other passed away after 18 to 20 years of commun life. Rosie is  12 now we hope she will stay with us until she can go into the Guiness book of records.



Between these two photos 18 years went by



He was such a cute kitty not bigger as the remote control



He didn' take much space on the sofa


Sleeping under my Kaftan and stealing food from plates belonged to his hobbies



Sometimes he also used the cat tower or sat outside on the tiles and listened to people walking by "What a beautiful" cat !



He had very funny sleeping positions, and loved to watch TV especially animal movies



Once I managed to give him a bath, that's when he was not white but black, he had "worked" as a mechanician under a car. He also was the best model for all photo memes.

I could write a whole book about Arthur and maybe I will do it when his absence hurts less.
