Going Pink in Memory of Skeezix

Along with many others in the pet blogosphere, we are turning our blog pink today in memory of Skeezix, who recently ran off to the Rainbow Bridge.  

(we hope it is ok thay we borrowed this badge from Cheysuli's blog).


Before I started my blog, I used to read other cat blogs and in September of 2009, I twice successfully "found" Cheysuli when she was lost on Fridays.     A few cats encouraged me to start my own blog and among them was Skeezix:

I have two qweschuns: Why duzn’t Simba have a blog? and How does Simba git his tale to be so floofy?"

We have always been in awe of Skeezix, almost like he was too unique to believe.   I mean he did all sorts of things happily that I would never have the patience to do.   He dressed up and posed for pictures in his outfits, he took rides in his stroller, he took walks on a harness and leash, and he traveled all over the werld as his flat self.    He had the most awesome frootbat ears, and a super relationship with his humans, Mr TastyFace and the Food Lady.     He introduced us to Vishus Deer and how to be suspicious of even the most innocent of those deers we see.  

But I think we will most hold in our hearts the brave way he faced his last days on earth, and his final blog posts.     No sad parts, just his wonderful sense of humor shining through when he talked about his tumor and showed us the zipper the vet installed in his tummy.   And his final post that greeted many old cat friends at the Rainbow Bridge as he arrived there and reviewed his grate life.     We know his humans' hearts were heavy, but instead of talking about that, they gave us one last dose of Skeezix's fabulous purrsonality.
