REMEMBERING BOBBY

Our Thanksgiving holiday was saddened by the loss of our second oldest and one of our longest residents, Bobby.

Bobby had been in failing health for some time and was on several medications and dailly fluids.  He always took the meds and fluids well, but just became weaker and thinner.  He always would purr when I held him for the meds or other times, but he had more bouts of confusion and not being able to find his way around the cat porch.  His brother, Julio, is the last of the three feral kittens I took in back in 1994 when I lived in the condo.  Their brother, Timmy, left us last year at Thanksgiving. Julio is also in poor health and receives meds and fluids on a daily basis.  Julio is still active and enjoys a bit of play at times.  Bobby hadn't been playful for a long time, but he liked to be fussed over and brushed gently.

Tabby Abbey population is currently: Julio, Socks, Henry, Smudge and Cousin Twinkie.  I miss the ones that are gone and  am thankful for the ones I still have.
