SCRABBLE (ca September ? 2002 --February 5, 2020)

Scrabble is gone, 18 years after she was born to a mother we never met somewhere in Central Maine. She came to us November of 2003, when we lived in Winslow, adopted from a Waterville Humane Society outplacement in a Fairfield, Maine pet supply store -- and knew nine of our other cats -- details perhaps later -- eventually becoming the respected elder cat in a four cat household, a post she held for almost exactly five years, guiding the other cats through the exciting move to a new home.

Her last few days were spent as she'd spent so many others, doing her rounds as best she could and sleeping a lot; she did get to the deck yesterday to do her stretches and to visit with some slightly re-greened oat grass that had taken advantage of a couple sunny warm days. That she couldn't continue those rounds had become obvious and she departed with a dignity befitting an elder cat, her devoted people with her as her vet of over a dozen years officiated.

Sad.

Tribute to a life well lived

Your message was a fitting tribute to a life well lived. I am glad that the skies gave her some sunny warmth, and that her end was with her people near by.

My deepest sympathy on Scabble's passing. It is hard to say goodbye to a long-lived and treasured member of your family, especially one with a strong and memorable purrsonality. M. C. Thomson

Both Scrabble and You and Steve were very lucky.
Scrabble to have great pet-parents.
And you and Steve to have a great Scrabble.

Good-bye, Scrabble.

She had, as the Brits say, a good innings.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Sharon.

A lovely tribute. My sympathies.

Goodbyes are hard. I wrote this in memoriam of another of the furry folk, but it says all that needs saying.

"On silent feet, the furry folk arrive,
Leave paw prints all across my days,
Scatter catnaps in my sunshine places.
Oh, how their presence graces me.
Quicker than a winking eye, as agile as a smile,
they stalk the pathways of my heart
And what great emptiness they leave behind
When it is time for them to go."
