Thank you for all of your purrs of support. We are all getting adjusted to Nigel watching over us instead of being here in the fur.
I want you all to know that I loved him. Not always in the way that he wanted me to, but I loved him. We are taking comfort in knowing that I gave him a good tongue bath on Friday night. He loved me scrubbing his ears.
I will miss his incredibly soft and manly fur and his love for all of us.
It may take a few days, but mom is planning to put together a tribute post. She wants to dig through his photos over the past 5 years.
Headbumpies and purrs to all of you. It's hard to lose a special cat. I was not myself for quite some time after Georgia left us.
ReplyDeleteMama Ellie, we all are so sad about Nigel. But you know, it makes us very happy to know that he did get some grooming from you--he flew to Heaven with clean ears and a heart full of love. We miss Nigel very much.
ReplyDeletePurrs to you, Ellie - we are so very sad about Nigel too. I am glad to know you were sweet to him so recently.
ReplyDeleteHe knows how much you loved him, and he's watching over you all with love.
ReplyDeleteLots of purrs for you and your family, Ellie. Nigel was a lucky boy to have you love him so much.
ReplyDeletePurrs and kitty kisses to you all. Give yourselves the time and "space" you need to grieve.

Purrs for you all and Angel Nigel
