It is with heavy hearts that we report Cameron (the Wild Boy, F-O-X, Stretchy Toes, and Very Best Friend to Zooot) passed away Saturday afternoon of congestive heart failure and we suspect more than just a little bit of a broken heart after the passing of the love of his life, Zooot, at the end of this past April.
Cameron and Zooot were like the old married couple who fell in love with each other at first sight, rarely argued, never went to bed angry, lived to make the other happy, and passed within a relatively short period of one another. Cameron had a difficult time with Zooot’s passing and had been pacing and calling every day since. With the light of his life gone, so too was his will to go on long without her.
We know he is comfortable now, is no longer grieving, and together with Zooot and all who have gone on before him. Thank you, Cameron, for your patience with us, being you were a feral kitten taken from a feral mom, and brought into our lives that was anything but the wild blackberry bushes you grew and played among. Peace be with you, little F-O-X. Until we meet again, we’ll never forget you.
Oh, how hard to lose two in such a short time. Even though some don’t believe it, animals can and do grieve, especially when there is a close bond. We are sorry for your losses. Purrs and pawhugs.
Thank you, Jan. Congrats on five years of blogging! Purrs and hugs for you too over Cotton. So hard for everyone. She was beautiful. *hugs*
