I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved Scully. I don't know his story (could someone provide a thread link?) but it sounds like you gave him a new lease on life for six years....I hope that can give you some comfort.

headbumps from mine....

It is probably spread over 20 or more threads, but we got him from friends of friends six years ago when they were giving him and their other cat up because they thought their child had allergies. They were both older cats and Scully was 33lbs, he was in rough shape and a very scared boy. Our vet said he would probably only live for a year tops so we took him home to live out his life (we had too many cats already so just took him).

After a few months, he was much healthier and playing like a kitten, and the most loving cat I had met (and I meet a lot working in a shelter), very attentive and amusing with his antics. We have been through diabetes and cancer with him as well as getting him down to under 20lbs - and he has been without problems for a while so this came as a huge shock.

Eithne, my heart stopped when I saw this. I cannot imagine how you are feeling.

Goodbye sweet, beautiful Scully. You stole my heart, so obviously your family is grieving terribly with you gone so quickly and so suddenly! I know you will watch over them and do all you can to send them signs of your love.
Play happily - and don't worry about other kitties being jealous because you're so handsome! You'll win them over with your love.


Eithne - I'm just so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eithne, I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost your beautiful Scully. He had six wonderful years with you that he otherwise wouldn't have enjoyed, but that does little to lessen the pain of his loss. My condolences to you, Matt and the other kitties, especially Autumn.

Oh gosh...I literally gasped when I read this thread. I can't believe that gorgeous big ol' love of a cat is gone.
His inner and outer beauty showed so clearly through your posts and pictures, which is why he held so many hearts from afar.

I'm so very sorry for your tremendous loss, Eithne.


Play happily at the Bridge, sweet Scully!

Eithne, I'm just seeing this now. I'm so sorry for your loss of Scully. He was very lucky indeed that he got taken in by you in the first place, and I'm sure his last 6 years of life were his happiest. RIP, beautiful boy.

I'm so sorry, Eithne!
I always enjoyed seeing photos of your Scully. He was such a beauty. He was so lucky to have had such a great home
