Goodbye Mr. B...


Our weekend was a very sad one.. We had to say goodbye to my furry brother Mr. B. (formerly known as Clyde)

Mr. B was 17 and mommy has had him since he was 3 weeks old. Mommy and daddy are very sad and miss him a lot. I do too. Neko misses him just a little bit- but he won't admit it.

Mr. B was the best cat and we have many great memories and stories of him. Daddy likes to credit him with the fact that I was born, he says that Mr. B incubated me the whole 9 + months mommy was pregnant. He never left her lap and made sure i was nice and snug inside her belly. He wouldn't even budge when I started to kick him and his little head would bounce up and down on mommy's belly. ( I am a strong kicker!)


Mimi always likes to tell the story of Mr. B when he was little and she came to visit mommy. She was showing off her fancy new designer purse and she hung it on a doorknob. Mr. B marched right over to it and lifted his leg and did his business on her purse! Teeheehee Oh my!! I bet my Mimi was very angry about that!

Mr. B would occasionally like to partake in a Vodka Martini. Daddy and Grampa like to have a martini now and then and sometimes when they weren't looking- Mr. B would take a few sips of their martini. He would get a bit wobbly as he tried to jump off of the coffee table onto grampas lap to curl up on his belly and take a nap..

Mr. B got into quite a bit of mischief.. especially as a kitten. Mommy says there were many broken vases, missing sandwich parts, missing hair ties etc etc. Mr. B would sneak up and try to take your sandwich or pizza when you were not paying attention. As a matter of fact he snuck into the fridge last week when mommy was getting water and pulled out some wrapped up left over pizza. He got a good bite out of it before mommy retrieved it from him. Teehee

We all miss Mr. B. But we will remember these stories and think about him in kitty heaven curled up with Bonnie next to a heating vent. He is happy now and he can run and play and eat all the people food he wants! He can even enjoy a martini now and then..

Here are some pictures of Mr. B. Goodbye my furry friend. I love you.

XOXO

Lilly: So sorry that your little big brother isn't there to snuggle up with you any more. I bet he is helping all the other kitty's learn how to do all the funny things you talked about - especially how to drink martini's and steal pizza! That was one smart and very cool cat! Tell mommy and daddy that they have some great pictures and even better memories of Mr. B that will always be with them.

Love,
The Gaunts
