This is Knubbs



We was surrendered to our local Humane Society and my husband couldn't stand the thought that someone could surrender a 17 year old cat. He didn't want him to die at the shelter, so we adopted him. I figured he'd be pretty low energy and geriatric, but he wasn't at all. When we played blanket mice, he looked just like a kitten.





He wormed his way really deep into our hearts, and we adored him.

In October my husband went to visit his family for a week. Knubbs deteriorated so fast I didn't even realize how bad it was until the night before I had to put him to sleep. I had a mobile vet come to the house, so that we could sit in the sun and I could hold him when he died. I'll never forget the feeling of him in my arms that day.



I'm pretty sure this was his favorite day. He slept under the catmint for hours, and when I finally picked him up to bring him in, he protested sleepily.

I'll miss my orange buddy.

You know, it hurt like hell, but I wouldn't give up the time we had with him for anything. We set out to let him live his golden years in a loving home. That's what we did, and then some. The only thing I regret is not trusting my gut and asking my husband to come home early. He was Knubbs' person, and it hurt him that he didn't get to say good bye.
