RIP Sullivan

Post by Miles » May 19th, 2012, 11:07 pm

Tonight we say goodbye to our little buddy Sullivan, Kelly's youngest cat. Sullivan was the kindest, most gentle cat and we loved him dearly. He passed away quietly, without warning and his buried under our favorite oak tree in the back yard.

God speed little kitty. My heart breaks for all of you. Please give Kelly a hug for me.

Here's my favorite video of our little buddy. This was taken from our old place, me sitting on our porch working from home.

A long time ago, before I knew him, somebody broke into Kelly's house, throwing a brick through the bedroom window, landing right next to where he slept. Since then, Sullivan was very shy and timid, and rarely came out during day so these little visits were priceless. I'm glad he came by to visit that day.

I'm so sorry for you all. Sullivan sounds like a kitty anyone would want to have. What a blessing Sullivan had Kelly and you and you both had him. :ymhug:

Thanks all, Kelly and I really appreciate your love and support.

Sullivan liked things quiet and peaceful. Most of the day, when I was making a ruckus at work, or the dogs were barking at the mail man and other passers by, he would chill out in his room and camp out under the bed. After things settled down in the evening, he would creep out of the bedroom and come pay a visit to everyone. This was one of our favorite times of the night, because it meant that everything was peaceful and everyone was happy.

We'll all heal with time, and we'll still have happy evenings at home, but we sure will miss Sullivan's punctuation.
