Comments on: On Missing Mr Pussy In Winter https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/12/03/missing-mr-pussy-in-winter/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Wed, 12 Dec 2018 03:29:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Amanda https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/12/03/missing-mr-pussy-in-winter/#comment-1244595 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 03:29:23 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=162211#comment-1244595 Me too, l cried reading this beautifully expressed tribute and sadness. l lost my gentle fluffy black cat last year and l obviously still needed to release more tears.
Reading the heartfelt condolences from sixty gentle followers helped my sorrow too, knowing such animal lovers exist and care enough to compose their thoughts for another and share their own losses.
And how perfectly this collective wisdom and empathy has manifested. Recently we read that indeed an adult feline needing a safe, loving refuge has found his way to the home of the GA.

Beautiful Schroedinger, weary of hiding in the crypt from visiting dogs at St Leonards in Shoreditch put in for a transfer to Spitalfields.
From recent uplifting episodes he has settled easily into life in a comfy house after life in a church.
The special wishes for the GA in these many posts have thankfully come true.

Your description of his demise has brought me to tears on every occasion of reading it. He was a wonderful loving companion and you were so lucky to have found each other.

My own cat is my constant companion when I am at home, never more than five yards away from me, mostly sleeping but occasionally attempting to attract my attention by stretching against a door and running her claws down it! I look forward to reading a copy of The Life and Times of Mr Pussy – I can hardly wait!

He wouldn’t want you to be lonely. Somewhere, in a London shelter, there is a second Mr. Pussy, watching and waiting and hoping for your loving arms to gather him up and carry him home to the fireside this Christmas.

We never forget them, but the loss eases and we hold then in our hearts forever. Mr Pussy will never be replaced, but perhaps one day you’ll be ready to adopt another ..

I know you miss his company. I hope you will consider adopting a new cat. I now have 3 and the bed it truly toasty. My husband says his American Indian name is sleeps with pets! I had 2 brothers and one died so he was replaced with 2 new ones a little over a year ago. The amazing thing is how well they get along and have done so since the day they were introduced.

Look forward to reading the new book.
