Posey

July 3, 2012

Posey died today. If you’ve been here long enough you already know that he was a special little person in a fur suit and I’ve had him for almost half of my life.

I’m too sad to write about him right now so instead I’m posting a video we once made together for some orphans in Africa. It’s sort of a long story. Much like Posey’s life.

Please go and hug your little friends a little tighter for me.

Very very sorry for your loss. We lost two fur friends in the last year and I realized how hard it is to share your grief with others over the loss of pets. Not that people aren’t sympathetic, but that there’s a feeling that you can only share so much of your grief about your “non-human” losses.

RIP Posey. You were loved. Clearly.

But I am so sorry for your loss and I know how truly sad you are. I’m actually tearing up thinking about how awful it must feel. I will keep you in my thoughts in the comming days since I’m sure you will need the happy thoughts to override the sad ones.

155 Teresa Hill July 3, 2012 at 4:50 pm: Hi,
I have angel cats. Their mother was a pregnant stray who showed up the day my carpool partner collapsed in her front yard and feel into a coma. (Complications of high-dose chemo for cancer.) She died five days later.
And that mother cat’s kittens helped me and my kids and her kids laugh, especially in the first year after she died, so they are truly angel cats, as I’m sure your beautiful baby was.

A friend of mine swears that if you ask your lost babies to come back to you, in new bodies, they will. Just ask, like you’re saying a prayer. And watch and wait and be open to the signs. They will come back.

I hope you did not opt for another attempt at backyard burial… I figure that whole trauma is probably fresh enough in your mind that you didn’t because although it would make for another horrifying/amusing blog post, I am thinking that maybe you could, perhaps, have Posey’s ashes turned into a kickass gemstone and then get it mounted in a tiara. Just a thought.

I don’t presume to speak for the rest of the internet, but if you need to vent/talk/whatever, I am sure there are many of us who are more than willing to listen. I know I am. Be well, Sweet Lady.

It got big and full of fur and laughter, and the warm feeling of being a mother for the first time. But Obi Wan Catnobi has been missing for 2 and a half weeks and I have been feeling really lost. So I’m crying, for you, for Posey, for Obi that I miss so and that I hope I will get to see again. Because it’s way too early to say goodbye.
307 Chani Ninneman July 3, 2012 at 5:15 pm: I’m so sorry to hear about Posey! I just started reading your blog about a year and a half ago – right around the time I took in a friend’s 15 year old cat, Oliver. I read about all the old posts about Posey (him making everyone think he was dead by sleeping with his eyes open, being nothing but fur and sinew, etc) and I thought – this is my new cat! I didn’t think I’d come to love him very much. It was going to be more like running kitty hospice care, right? Oh wow, not at all. This wheezy, sinewy, sweet old man has wormed his way into my heart like I never would have believed. I have to pick my way through fresh gifts of vomit and hairballs every morning, but…well, ick, sorry. Every time I read a new Posey post, I just loved my old cat a little more. And when Oliver does die, I’m going to go and read all those Posey posts AGAIN and laugh and cry and be happy for the time I had with him. Love and good thoughts to you!

Side note: You have a lovely singing voice. It’s clear from the video that Posey agreed.

Posey knew only love from you, Jenny. I’m pretty certain he also knew all your secrets and kept all of them close to his heart. Be very gentle with yourself. Extra special gentle. There are extra treats and scratches and hugs for all the furry animals here at Chez Naked tonight.

will never be like Callie, I love her. But differently. Love, Laurie F.

i did hug my fuzzy baby very tightly after reading this… and she thumped her tail very angrily against my legs, but she put up with it. Then when i started to let her go, she pretty much launched herself across the room and gave me this glare of DOOM. And my face and shirt were *covered* in long fine grey Maine Coon Boo-hair. But i wouldn’t have it any other way, really.

i know it’s cold comfort right now… but Posey had a lovely life, and that long life is a testament to your love and care you took of him. Remember those good times.

528 Andrea July 3, 2012 at 6:41 pm: My 10-week old kitten is probably going to claw the shit out my face for this, but I’m going to give her all the lovin’s today. And it will be worth it, because any cat-cuddlin’ time is worth it, clawed-face or no clawed-face. I really hope there’s no clawed-face, though.

Also, I know of only one other person on the planet that knows the Don Gato song. I learned it in elementary school (we had a Mexico Program one year… which was even more hilarious since we didn’t have a single hispanic person in our entire school – elite white kids!). It’s like you know the secret handshake of awesome people.
552 Susan D. July 3, 2012 at 6:56 pm: So, so sorry. Your past writings of Posey have been a real joy (and hoot.) It is so very sad to lose a furball, especially one that’s been with you so long.

My furbabies send their condolences too. Even my nuts-oid doggies.

I also have to say that your TALENTS never cease to surprise and delight me. You have a LOVELY voice!

It was obvious how much you adore posey in your posts. I really hope you are ok, what a horrible end to a shitty day! I’ll be thinking of you and cuddling my Lola to bits tonight! xoxo

571 Brattus Rattus July 3, 2012 at 7:09 pm: Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

That thing was in SHREDS when he finally stopped running around the house!” Then we’ll look at each other and get all sad and change the subject. So yeah… big hugs from us!

650 Brandina July 3, 2012 at 8:15 pm: I had a cat that my sister brought home when I was only days old. The kitten was small enough to fit in her palm. The two of us grew up together, played together, she slept with me every night. Until I was 15. That year she died and when she left, a part of me left with her.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I watched part of the video, but then I almost started crying so I had to stop. All I could think was how I would feel if it was one of my two babies. So now, as you’ve suggested, I’m going to go and hold them and hug them and tell them how I’ll love them forever.

I am so very sorry for your loss, and hope your other furry children will help you get through this difficult time.

On a completely different note, I remember singing that song in elementary chorus, and being struck by the many emotions it contained. I was delighted to hear it again, and you have a delightful, natural singing voice (I’m a music teacher,btw)!

People think I’m joking about things like this. I’m really not.

However, I am so so sorry for your loss. Posy was an awesome person in this world, and whatever world he’s in now, he’ll be awesome there too.

I hate death. It sucks. But I love cats and I love you even though you don’t even know me. So…much much much love for you and Posy.

It’s partly your very sweet singing voice (it’s exceptionally good) and the poignant verse, but mostly it was the idea that the cat came back to life, and how much I wish that was possible. I miss my Boris so much it’s still painful to remember him, even months later. Sorry for your loss, truly.

I’m so sorry to hear about Posey. My cat of 17 years died in May of just being damn old. He had the same thyroid problem your kitty had. My cat’s name was Baby Kitty. My brother named him when he was 3 or 4. My family identified so much with you and your love for Posey. We even called him Posey as a nickname sometimes. The pain does go away. And the sadness that you feel is probably mixed with relief that he’s no longer suffering and the sadness that no cat will ever take his place. I’m terribly sorry to hear of his passing. I’m just very happy for you that you have videos to remember him by
We are all thinking of you today.

I hated that I hadn’t been there when it happened. I hugged her and cried and cried. I was shaking and sobbing… She’d been there through so much.

Had to say goodbye to my miracle lazarus cat last fall (seriously, he’d had diabetes for almost a decade, was almost 20 and kept trying and failing to die from other things throughout the past decade.) I’m sorry. I knew it was coming, so the initial shock was muted, but it hurt all the same. I still miss his rib-butts. I like to think (though I don’t really believe it) that he made sure I got my next cat before he went so that I and his buddy would have a distraction. She’s sure proven to be that! The freakin’ crazy little girl keeps us all busy.

763 Sue Lingl July 3, 2012 at 10:40 pm: I am so sorry for your loss. Every time a pet passes over to the other side I swear I will stop giving my heart to creatures with shorter life spans than me. But I never do – another fur person comes along and I love them with a different part of my heart. Just like I can be too full to eat but still have room in my ” dessert tummy” my heart can be owned by a fur person who is no longer here – only to discover that when another comes along, somehow there is room for them. NOT replacing the other but different in some way.
764 Kate July 3, 2012 at 10:48 pm: wow. I haven’t been on the computer much lately and specifically went looking for your blog today..and saw this. I’m SO sorry. Words aren’t enough. I had one like Posey. It’s been 10 years and I still miss him. Sending you hugs and love and good juju… <3
765 Stella July 3, 2012 at 10:48 pm: Condolences on the loss of your furry friend. On a brighter note, your video transported me back to elementary school where I remember singing that song in music class. (What a lovely singing voice you have, BTW!)

768 Amber July 3, 2012 at 10:55 pm: I felt like Posey was my cat too. I am so sad to hear that he passed away. The video seemed very appropriate since it ended with you having us all tell Posey goodbye. Goodbye sweet Posey you were loved by millions and now we will all mourn your passing.

772 Angela/Curiocat July 3, 2012 at 11:08 pm: My deepest condolences to you and your family. It’s always too soon when our four legged friends leave us. I keep thinking I don’t want anymore but then some fur face shows up needing help and they end up joining the crowd.

I keep telling God if he’s going to keep sending these blessing he has to 1)Make sure I have the money to care for them and 2)Make my heart a little tougher when it’s their time to join him. So far I manage to get everyone what they need (human and fur faces) but I’m still waiting for the tougher heart.
773 Karen July 3, 2012 at 11:16 pm: Crappity crap, that sucks. At least he can be memorialized with big pretty fireworks and sparklers and such, which seems like an appropriate Bloggess’ cat funeral to me.

Hugs to you and your entire family (fur family included!)
774 Joy July 3, 2012 at 11:16 pm: I’m really sorry to hear about Posey. I am an ardent cat-lover and one of my favorite things about your blog (aside from the incredible and touching humor) is that you include your kitty-cats. I’m gonna go hug Huxley extra tight now and be thankful for the time I have with him. Again, I am so sorry for the loss in your family. I know how hard it is.
775 Wendy July 3, 2012 at 11:19 pm: Jenny I am so very sorry. He was such a good cat and I know that you all loved him very much as did we. Just take comfort in knowing that he is happy and healthy and waiting for you on the Rainbow Bridge. He’s only gone from your sight…not from your heart.

785 Kara July 3, 2012 at 11:32 pm: I’m in a holding pattern for my 18-19 yr old cat (lost the other one last year) who is failing step by step and every day I come home and she’s not dead yet, I take a deep breath and hug her. As I know you did with Posey – you had a bunch of the same ‘false starts’ as we have. The best I can do, which you did as well, is let these furry little monsters know that they are loved and that they are welcome. And to thank them for how warm, loving and furry they made our lives.

And at the same time, remind yourself how rich and wonderful you made Posey’s life compared to so many wild, un’owned’ and shelter cats and take solace in how happy you made him.

I know it sucks. But he was lucky to have you and you to have him. So when the pain fades a bit, let the love and joy shine through.
786 roozal July 3, 2012 at 11:34 pm: I’m so sorry to hear that. Our Bijou is 16 and we know our time with him is almost up.
Your song was wonderful, and your singing voice is excellent. I’m sure Posey appreciates it. The only song I sing to Bijou is the “Soft Kitty” song from Big Bang Theory. He’s not a fan.

805 Gail July 4, 2012 at 12:33 am: Cry, yell, go scarily quiet, hide in a closet, punch things that deserve it like any type of diet food, run outside without shoes and find a green, shaded spot alone and keen and shake until you exhaust yourself. Wash, rinse, repeat as needed. For as long as it takes. Then watch as Ferris starts to insinuate himself more into your orbit, because he will. Cats hate vacuums- all kinds. They fill any available space, and soon, or whenever it happens, you will have available emotional space, and he will be happy to claim it. And the Posey shaped part of your heart is there for good. You need a special place for pictures, memories, stories and all things Posey. That’s where they go. I lost my Ginger on Friday and this strategy seems to be helping me. I ache for your loss and send love.

It’s terribly hard, as these little fur babies seem to be cleaved from our very being and soul. It is simply the worst feeling. I have a pumpkin sized lump in my throat reading your post and all the comments. Will go look through all the pooch pics of my dear departed and think of all the good times. I’m sure all our little ones are playing and causing mischief together. Love and hugs to you and everyone who is missing their babies.

I am SO sorry for your loss, cats can be closer to us than any human being and their loss can leave you heartbroken.
But in time, the tears will slowly turn to smiles, when you remember their weird habits, their cuddles, their miauws, and most of all their devotion to you.

And now I’m gonna cuddle my cats until they start protesting, and then cuddle them some more…

I know how much it hurts at the time when you lose a beloved furbaby and also how you get “sneaker grief” moments for a long time after, when you look at a favorite napping place or walk in the front door and have that second or two of expecting to see a sweet little face before you remember that they are gone. Hopefully your many memories of Posey’s long and happy life with you will give you some consolation.

As an aside, that “Senor Don Gato” song popped into my head over the weekend, but I had completely forgotten one of the verses. Listening to you sing it – especially with your wonderful Posey there – was a real gift for me. Thank you!

Both our dogs growing up died within 2-3 years. One was hit by a stranger in the middle of the night on the rural highway outside our house and the other was hit by my brother’s teacher. I was young and both were very much here today gone tomorrow sort of things. And being an AFBrat, I was used to friends leaving after a couple years.

Last year my husband and I got the first dog of our adult lives (we are both over 30). Melody Puddles isn’t even a year old yet, and already I can’t imagine how I’ll feel when I have to say goodby to her…

Excuse me while I go get her some duck jerky and throw the frisbee awhile…

1000 Amber July 4, 2012 at 9:27 pm: I really hate that I lost my best friend and first son Zeke last year. He was a lab mix and ten years old. Making the decision to put him down was the most painful decons o of my life. I’m so sorry that you had to lose her.
1001 Melissa July 4, 2012 at 10:01 pm: I wanted to send my condolences to you…I had to put my big kitty down last year as he had injured his spine and it was obvious he wasn’t going to get any better or walk without a whole lot of pain so the vet and I chatted and he said it was time. I cried for a week and my boss wouldn’t let me go home and bury him…I cried all day…it’s like losing a limb. Hugs to you and yours, but mostly you.

1010 Marie July 4, 2012 at 11:21 pm: I am so, so sorry to hear about your cat. I love that video, and when we found it a few weeks ago, we spent considerable time watching it over and over (and over) because my toddler loves it too and demanded repeats. It was very clear that Posey was a dear, sweet snuggleblug. I know she’s leaving a big furry hole right now. Tearing up for you, and sending big hugs.

Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully

Dammit. And I am very sorry. And I can’t believe he ran out of souls to suck to prolong his life even further (because that was obviously working for him. Either that or he was Mr. Burns in cat form)
I am sorry you have to have that emptiness now, but I think it’s awesome you have a video of him helping you sing. That’s a song I still sing all the dang time, btw.

1037 Mikki Blueyes July 5, 2012 at 10:52 am: Just had to add my voice (and Kashka and Mushu’s – my fur babies) to the many offering their condolences… we feel your loss too. Think of the ‘soft kitty’ song from The Big Bang Theory and know we’re sending some ‘purr purr purrs’.
1038 Heather July 5, 2012 at 11:03 am: Oh nosssss! I am so sorry to hear that Jenny! Posey has likely already found my best friend growing up, Jake, (He’s the giant tabby cat with an asshole personality at first, but you’ll really like him after a little while, Posey… just say you’ve purred over the interwebs for Heather, and he’ll be your friend). Jake was my Don Gato. I got him around the same time I was learning that song in school for a play (2nd grade), so I’d run around with him in my arms, singing that song at the top of my lungs…

Even after I left for college, I’d still come back home to visit and serenade him, and even after I got married, I’d still hum that song as he’d lay CAT-atonic in my lap… by the time I got married, Jake looked much like Posey did towards the end… skinny, matted, but boy could he purr. He never purred as an adult cat, i think because I tormented him so, but as soon as he started losing his marbles, his eye sight, and his hearing, I just think he didn’t realize he was purring. Jake passed away on July 13, 2009. I wasn’t able to be there in person, but my mom had me on the phone the whole time… I miss him so much, but I am so thankful for the 18 years we got to spend together. My parent’s house just isn’t the same without his awesomeness. His ashes now sit on the mantle next to a collage I made of photos of him throughout his fantastic life.

Sorry for the tangent… and sooooo incredibly sorry for your loss. That’s the only thing I hate about dogs and cats… their lifespan is so much shorter than ours. My future children will never get to know the legend that was Jake Keller III, but the’ll have photos.

My heart goes out to you and your family!

Our cat died in January and I still keep seeing her out of the corner of my eye. Honestly, I kind of enjoy the possibility of a ghost cat stalking the house, continuing to be exasperated by human stupidity, and enraged that when she tries to bite us on the ankles we don’t feel it.

Yes, I know it’s not actually the case, but. . . I miss her, so Imaginary Ghost Angry Cat is better than nothing.

1083 Melissa Bee July 6, 2012 at 6:36 pm: Jenny i am so sorry. there is really nothing like girl kitty love for a girl/woman. i can say this because there is still a big hole in my heart from my last girl kitty. i rescued two boy kitty brothers, and they are great, but sometimes i just miss her. maybe because when she died i was holding her in my arms. took her very last breath. i know that might sound cruel that i did not have the vet put her to “sleep”, but i had promised her that i would not let her die in a vet office or cat hospital. it takes awhile, maybe forever, to be a little more healed than you are now. i pray for you to find some laughter through your tears. it sounds so meaningless at the moment, but you had her for half your life and those years were full of posey-awesomeness. : ‘ (

I foster animals, in addition to my own farm, and we lost a little black kitten a month or so ago. I was able to save his sister and we have smothered that little one with love. Even my two evil doublemint twin cats have taken to her, so it will make it that much harder to adopt her out.

With all that said, I will leave you with a favorite quote from the movie “Blow”, I know…scary drug movie, but totally brilliant.
“Throughout my lifetime I have left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there is almost barely enough to stay alive”
That pretty much sums up how I feel about all the animals I have had, known, fostered, adopted and above all…Loved.

I’m so sorry for your loss. They really do become a part of us. Hopefully Thomcat will help fill that hole with a new love.
1104 Terri July 9, 2012 at 8:36 am: I’m sorry for your loss. On a positive note, I just watched this video. Two things: I’m jealous because I wish I could sing, and my 7 year old said, “Who is that?” And I told her and she said, “Do you know her?” And I said, “Not really, but I feel like I do,” to which she replied, “She seems nice!” I just thought that was sweet. I bet you *are* nice.
1105 GurlNxtDoor July 9, 2012 at 9:51 am: Oh No! I’m so sorry to hear about Posey! :*(

1116 Deborah July 10, 2012 at 8:20 pm: My heart hurts with you. I am so sorry for your loss. I slipped into a two-month depression when my Bianca died. Actually, she didn’t die die. My parents had her put to sleep while she was in their care. She had stopped peeing, eating, and had grown tumors on her chin in the short week I was gone. It was awful. Thoughts are with you…
1117 Dan July 11, 2012 at 9:18 am: Catching up after being away for a while. Sorry to hear about Posey. Sending virtual hugs your way, as I know the hurt doesn’t go away quickly…
1118 Taya July 11, 2012 at 11:05 am: catching up after an absence, so sorry about Posey. I have an 18yo furperson that has had her claws in ymheart for all of her years. It’s hard to say goodbye. {{{Jenny}}}
1119 Randi July 11, 2012 at 2:36 pm: This was the sweetest video that I have every seen. You have a lovely voice, btw. I’m so glad that you have this to keep forever. On another note, my local library recommended your book in a newsletter they sent out. (in Beverly, MA)
1120 Michelle July 11, 2012 at 4:31 pm: So Sorry! I hope your new kitten has taken some of the sting away.
1121 Shiela July 11, 2012 at 10:41 pm: Watched your video and cried, thinking of my own lost kitty. It takes a long time not to be sad, but we go on. Though we never forget, we find other kitties to love. So sorry for your loss.
1122 Julz July 12, 2012 at 6:59 am: I’m so very sorry to hear that. Losing a furry person after being together for so long is very painful.
1123 Kel Thulu July 12, 2012 at 12:27 pm: Shortly after I posted a picture of my “Time Lord” kitteh Annie on your fbook page, she too died. I kept waiting for her to regenerate, still waiting.

My heart breaks for you, I feel keenly your pain.
1124 Margi July 12, 2012 at 5:48 pm: I’m a few days behind, but wanted to share my condolences, that I’ve been there, too.

Also that I totally love this video. Meow, meow, meow.

1125 eve July 12, 2012 at 11:46 pm: it’s been a crazy mad few weeks and i was here catching up and saw this. i am so very sorry. they are such little creatures, but leave such big holes behind them when they are gone.
1126 Melissa July 14, 2012 at 7:56 pm: I have been working crazy hours the past 2 weeks and today finally sat down to catch up on your blog. So this is my belated HUGE ((((((((HUGS))))))) to you. I am so sorry about Posey and that video made me teary eyed.
1127 Travis Cotton July 16, 2012 at 7:16 am: I took my golden retriever to be put to sleep about 7 years ago. Hardest thing Ive ever had to to do. When I was new to this town she was my only friend. I cried like a baby in the parking lot and some random stranger (another guy) let me sob on his shoulder. He must have been at least 50 and I was 37ish at the time.

Still breaks my heart to think about it but its good to know to very grown men can comfort each other about a pet and it not be all weird.
1128 Amy July 16, 2012 at 11:34 pm: Oh, I am so sorry. I lost my little girl, Cutie, in June. She was with me most of my life, as well. I am sure Cutie and her sister, Sunny (who passed 2 years ago) were waiting to greet Posey. I still expect her to meow at my door in the morning or when I get home. ( I’m a bit late, but big hugs to you and your family from me and my Kitty. <3
1129 Tami Moore July 18, 2012 at 5:27 pm: Jenny, I doubt very seriously that you read all the many comments left to you daily, but wanted to share my consolances and sadness in losing such an important loved one in your life. I too laid my own down on July 5th and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. My sweet Fritz, a white poodle, was fourteen. I’m so sorry your sweet Posey had to go too! Much love and happy thoughts!

big mushy virtual hugs and <3
1131 Karen September 7, 2012 at 7:30 pm: When I was 10 years old, my cat got killed by a car right before school. It was horrific finding his mangled body in the street. That day at school, the teacher taught us this song and no one quite understood when I began to cry uncontrollably and had to leave the classroom. It was humiliating. But, you sing it so nicely. (Much better than a bunch of rowdy 5th graders!) Thanks for the memory and I am sorry about Posey. May he find my Lunk and be happy.

1132 Jaime F September 21, 2012 at 1:38 pm: So so sorry about Posey (I too am catching up on posts this week and just saw this). As it turns out, we found out our cat Sid has kidney disease and we have to put her down this week. This will be the first cat that I have had to put down and I don’t know how I’m going to do it — I feel your pain because they truly are little furry family members. Hugs!
1133 Tara December 2, 2012 at 6:36 am: Anyone can see that kitty was a most special fluff who loved you to bits. He did a marvelous job with Don Gato!
1134 Sister Morpheme March 20, 2013 at 7:32 am: I don’t know if it’s a testament to my hypersensitivity, instability, love of all felines or just your lovely singing voice, but I’m weeping over my coffee for the loss of Someone Else’s Pet. I’m new here, and slowly catching up…
