Scooby 2010 – 2024. Sunday night late Scooby could not settle and kept roaming around. He was lightly panting on and off. Decided to take him to the vet Monday morning. When I got up he was wandering around upstairs and could hardly walk as his back legs weren’t working for him. He let out some loud horrible screaming sounds. Put him in the car and headed to the animal hospital 20 minutes away. When we got there I checked him before pulling him out of the car. He was gone. Suspect a heart attack. My best cat and friend who spent every day and night by my side is gone. I am crushed. Four days ago we were hunting rabbits. Everyone loved Scooby: he was the best cat I ever knew.My inclination to stop blogging in June was correct. Now I must stop on a sad note. My heart is not in this any more. A few photos follow with captions:







Rabbit hunting in the hedge.



October update: I have a bunch of illnesses knocking me back so I had to stop. I felt it too drastic to delete the blog so I made it private so I can bring it back if I wish . I didn’t want it to become a ghost blog by leaving it visible and abandoned. Cat wise, Scooby came down with Cholangiohepatitis. He would not eat. Had to feed him special food by syringe every 2 hours. That was tough. Eventually antibiotics kicked in and he could eat again. Lots of medications and lots of money but he is over it. It was a close call. Zeke jumped down into the catio and hurt his front paw. X-rayed and apparently no damage. Was ok in a week. Catio is closed and falling apart from neglect. Finally Opie who won’t allow brushing got full of hair mats and went to the groomer and got them shaved off and is happier now. She is still in her room mostly sleeping in her reindeer tent with the shark and her other stuffies.




Pals (6) Who else could it be but Scooby and Zeke? Opie is here too. Here they are up in the Loft pondering the end of blogging on the Feline Cafe. It was a good long run. We wanted to end the blog while we are ahead. Thanks to all the loyal followers. We enjoyed our interactions with you all. We enjoyed all our cat friends.



Focus on Zeke (4). Is it the 4th “Focus on” or 4 photos? Both! They are new photos but it is hard to tell as he is usually doing the same things most of the time. Zeke and Scooby chase each other through the house but it is too fast and furious for me to get a snap of. The aftermath is always a good long snooze by both of them. I been posting on Fridays but I may be taking a break for a while of undetermined length. We shall see. I also notice in the WP editor I now have an AI assistant. I am NOT going to press that button! I prefer my 3 hairy assistants who give me all the help I need. 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
