equalitysiren, Said goodbye to this good boy a few weeks ago. The end was rough, so I haven't been up to sharing his passing.
Felix found us as a leggy "teen" and gave us just over 18 years of joy. He was absolutely the smartest, most interesting, coolest cat we have ever had. He is so thoroughly missed every day.
Hug your pets close.
Felix, our black and white cat, laying stretched out on the table (that he knows he isn't allowed on) peering at the camera as if to say "well, what are you going to do about it?"
Felix stretched out on his back in the grass with arms and legs flung out, a common pose while lounging anywhere. One of my favorite things was his obvious trust that and confidence that he was safe and could fully be the cat that he was. I hope that makes sense. My husband often held him in his arms on his back, almost upside down to give him a good head scrub and he always limp and purring.
Felix napping in the yard. As he got older, he was a full yard napper, moving with the sun and/or shade depending on the temperature.
