Nero

The house feels odd without him. I keep thinking he’ll come trotting through the doorway. I’m all cried out. There can’t possibly be any tears left. And then they come again.

I’m grateful I gave him a great life. And he gave me so much love.

Nero

Nero (03/07/07 – 28/06/2021). Today I said goodbye to Nero. He’s been my shadow for 13 years. He’s been by my side through so many ups and downs in that time.

I’m heartbroken. But watching him struggle was equally heartbreaking.

I made the right decision for him. It was easy and tough all at the same time.

I’m sat here in floods having snuggles with the kittens. Another end of an era.

RIP my handsome boy. I gave you the best life I could.

Cat logic

I couldn’t find Hugo earlier so assumed he’d gone wandering. Until I heard lots of rustling. He’s made a little nest in the bookcase.

Now Nero has taken it over.

Cats are weird.

Close up

Nero doesn’t always get personal space. The minute I sit down, he’s there wanting a cuddle. He has the biggest heart and a purr to match. Love him.

Hugo Boss

Awwww look who came upon my FB memories today. A teeny tiny Hugo Boss. This was the photo that made me adopt him after losing Tom.

He and Dodo have grown into handsome little boys. I can’t imagine life without them.

Little surprises

Since I’ve had the kittens, they’ve been fighting over who gets to sit on my lap when I’m on the laptop. I get both of them on there some days.

Today I got a lovely surprise when Nero jumped up.

He’s a little bit bigger than they are, so it was a squeeze. He made it work and was purring away. He has his good days and bad days too. Today he was on good form and for that I’m very grateful.

It’s a cat’s life.

I’m definitely coming back as a cat in my next life… 😹
