RIP Rusty →[More:]My wife's first cat died tonight. I met him on our second date together, and he quickly became the first cat I really liked. He had a bent paw from living four years in the wild. He was friendly enough to eat from a spoon. Rusty would softly bonk our heads before going to bed for the night.

I don't even like cats and this made me sad for your loss.

My deepest condolences. I am going to hug my fuzzy friend right now, regardless of how she feels about it.

What a gorgeous cat. I'm sorry he's gone but he obviously had a happy and contented life and brought much joy to yours.

Aw, drezdn, I'm sorry. Orange stripers are usually really good guys, and he looks like no exception. I'm glad he was the one that always gets to be your first likeable kitters.

My sympathies go out to the drezdn family. So very sorry.

All pets are special, each having a unique personality and relationship to their people. It's such a personal bond we share with them. He sounds neat - like the kind of kitty that garners the spoon feeding!

It's wonderful that Rusty welcomed you into the family, and shared his love with you.

My condolences to you both.
