I’m so sorry for your loss. These 4 legged characters work their way into our homes and then our hearts. They really do become family. RIP Mr. Pussy.

Your eloquence in describing Mr Pussy has lengthened his life way beyond feline capabilities, of which it sounds like he had many, and given him space to live in the hearts and minds of your readers, also. A great gift to a much-loved and missed companion.

What a wonderful piece, I can see Mr Pussy in my minds eye going through all of his ‘poses’ I have the book and read it in one sitting 🙂

Oh to be a cat! I think I’ll go and have a good stretch and a nap!

Greetings from Boston,

GA, what a beautiful reflection on Mr. Pussy’s accommodations to the “dog days” of summer. I recall the enormous response you received when you announced his final passing a few years back. Mr. Pussy, RIP.

Your memories of Mr Pussy book is one of my favourite reads. I wish I could write so eloquently about my own beautiful tabby.

Oh, yes, yes: I miss my neighbour’s cat CHICO so much too…. He knew his way around my flat like no other and had his favourite places here. His new home is a farm far away. The summer of 2017 was very enjoyable…

Love & Peace

How I understand this feeling. My last cat was a gorgeous tortoiseshell we adopted as a stray who’d been found by a work colleague of my husband. We got her about 8 months after another old boy had to be put to sleep. When we moved to Scotland she went with us. I was very attached to her and during a long period of serious illness she rarely left my bed, it was such a comfort. We eventually had to say goodbye when she was 15 as she’d developed feline leukemia and was very ill herself. I’ve never wanted to have another since, now I live in an apartment and don’t think it would be fair for a kitty to be kept indoors so I donate to the local animal shelter instead.

I sometimes dream about her, she miaows to let me know she’s ok ?
