Saying good bye to a good furry friend.

Well, today was the end of an era. Tara (aka terrorist ) passed away in her sleep laying in her favorite spot, on the John Deere riding mower seat. Yesterday, she looked tired. But still said hi and ate some food. She was twenty plus years old. We placed her in the back yard under a tree.
She is laying next to our munchkin cat who passed last year. RIP champion bug catcher.

She was a beauty. She can go play with our Templeton who was a great hunter as well.

She had a good long life. It's so hard to lose them even though you know this day will come from the first day you have them.
Peaceful passage dear kitty.

an empty hole when they're gone. get some solace in knowing they had a pretty good life with you and they'll be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge where you will all be together again.

Got a funny story from Tara, that she did just last week.

It’s 1am, I’m up reading, when I hear the roomba turn on. It kind of shocked me, but when I looked up, I saw Tara sitting on top of the roomba, riding it around. I haven’t laughed that hard in months. I’ve seen the video with cats on roombas before, but I always thought they were trained.
Tara wasn’t trained, just smart enough to turn it on and enjoy her inner cowboy.

My laughter woke up the rest of the house. Wish I had video.

If they were a bit cheaper I'd buy a roomba just for cats to ride on.

Looks a lot like my Inky, so that makes me even sadder! Very sorry for your loss! They do leave big pawprints on our hearts. I know how hard it is to say goodbye to furry friends!

She is gorgeous, like a cat version of our daughter's Catahoula. And a bug catcher too! Our current kitty is like that, more so than others we've had.

so very sorry

Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you -

I loved you so -
'twas Heaven here with you

I have never known a cat that passed away on a John Deere riding mower seat. Here's to Tara and to her passing over to Rainbow Bridge in style. She's looks like she was full of mischief and that's not a bad characteristic to have either. Thinking of you and sending you strength.




R.I.P. Tara

Tara had a long and enjoyable life with you. If there are other fur babies at home, I imagine they will really miss her.

Hugs
