Hey, all.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. It seems every time I post, it’s when one of my furry family members crosses the Rainbow Bridge, and never for happier moments, which I do intend to be better at.
But, this morning, I come with the news that we lost another furry family members the night before. Alvin the Basement Cat. He was not doing the last few days to a couple of weeks. He had trouble eating, possibly due to a tooth bothering him (being a picky eater certainly didn’t help). He was also just on a downhill slide and couldn’t get around as well.
He lived to about 14 years old, and lived many years longer than he was expected to, due to having a heart murmur and some type of chronic IBS that we never could get a proper diagnosis on, which he lived with for the better part of 10 years.
Alvin did give us many years of amusement in his mischief along with his sister, Maggie who went on ahead of him about two years ago. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge here at home sometime between Wednesday night and yesterday morning. My Mom came home and found him later in the evening in the basement. We (or rather, Mom since I couldn’t bring myself to handle him for silly reasons) retrieved him from his final resting spot in the basement when I arrived home from work this morning and created some temporary storage accommodations until I can properly bury him this weekend.
The loss is hardest on my Grandmother, since he was her constant companion since he came into our home 14 years ago and slept on her bed every night up until the end. He was quite the character and little warrior, and he will be missed.
My mom posted a touching tribute to Alvin on Facebook last night that was very fitting.
