Over The Rainbow Bridge

November 4, 2007 on 1:02 pm | In Cat Blogging |

My friend Michael’s cat, Sybil, died this morning. She was sick and he and his partner knew it was coming but it’s never easy. She has been his companion and familiar for over 15 years, bonded to him in her kittiehood by shared plates of spaghetti (!). Since she’s a black cat, Michael thinks that maybe she was holding on for one more Halloween. This photo was the last taken of her — yesterday when Michael took her out for a little fresh air. She died peacefully in her sleep.

Bless her heart. Thanks for all the love, Sybil.

  1. Farewell, Sybil. If you see Kiki, tell her we miss her.

  3. Look at that sweet gorgeous girl with the paw ever so slightly put forward. I bet she was really something.

  4. Sybil used to do the funniest thing. She would hide behind a door. I could always see her through the crack, but she had her back to me so she thought I didn’t know what was about to happen. I walked by slowly… she pounced out and grabbed onto my leg… gave me a little love bite and ran away. THEN, when I got we got a German Shepherd puppy… She was TERRIFIED of him. THEN one day she decided to swat him on the nose. She pranced around like a queen after that because she knew from his reaction that she had the upper hand. Until… I rubbed cat nip all over Lucky’s legs… Sybil rubbed against him for about 10 minutes purring. Sally Field’s Oscar speech played in his mind over and over… YOU LIKE ME, Sybil… You REALLY LIKE ME!
