I found him in 1998, a stray baby kitten hiding in my tin shed in the backyard.
All these years he has given so much love and joy to my family and I. He will be missed!
Rest in Peace Sweet Revy, I love you.

(23,340 posts)Cats live such shorter lives than we do, that now I am on my third round of aged cats.
One of mine is wasting away before my eyes. I can only give her love, and comfort, as she passes.

(9,234 posts)you have 16-17 years of memories to cherish. No doubt you feel he did wonderful things in and enhanced your life. I wish cats had longer life spans. It's so difficult to lose them.
I'm very sorry for your loss.

It's my belief that she and Revy are frolicking together in the catnip garden beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

(43,889 posts)And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds -
and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -
wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along
and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.
"Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
put out my hand and touched the face of God.
