I won’t post my usual today. I am too sad for Ruth and Tim on the passing of their beloved Ali.
Ali was especially good for Tim with his special needs, and both Ruth and Tim will need our love, hugs, and thoughts while they adjust to this loss.
Ali had many medical issues that finally brought her to a point where she was beyond care, though she had excellent care from a veterinarian who went out of her way to try to save this beloved cat.
I feel for Ruth and Tim too. Ali meant a lot to them.
Yes, it was heartbreaking. I am very sad for them as well because Ali was such a big part of their lives.
Really sorry for Ruth and Tim .
They are heartbroken, Michel, but there have been an incredible number of people stop by their Facebook site and on WordPress to offer condolences.
Did she post about it on WordPress.com?
Yes, ad the full post can be found by clicking on the link at the bottom of the post that says “View original post”. It’s right under the photo of Ali.
I am saddened by Ruth and Tim’s loss, Doug. Ali looks like she was a beautiful cat and a gentle soul. I will plant some daffodils here for Ali in Elbert’s garden come this autumn. A little spot of gold for Ali among the shades of purple for Elbert. The irises are taking hold now (with lots of watering), and hopefully that bed will look good come spring. It is so hot and dry now I am working hard at keeping various plantings going.
Ruth often posts beautifully photograp[hed photos of flowers, and I am sure she will appreciate your gesture, Livonia. I’ll pass the word on to here about your plan.
So sad to hear someone lost their beloved friend. Run free, Ali!
Tim and Ruth have had loads of support from friends. We all know how dear Ali was to them.
Oh, they’ll have such big holes in their hearts, losing this special part of their family.
I still remember with fondness and grief the two cats I had before Andy and Dougy…..
I can believe that, Doug
It never gets easier.
We are very sad over their loss of Ali. Life can be so cruel.

Poor Ali had lots of health issues. Though her veterinarian worked very hard to find ways to help her live, her body just gave up.
How sad for them. Yesterday I was finally able to take my Tony to the crematorium. There is no good facilty near here. They have my sympathy and I appreciate you using the post to tell us about her passing and showing us her beauty.
I find I become attached to favorite Intgernet kitties. I guess it comes from have such strong attachments to my kitties that I understand too well how others feel when they lose one of their fur buddies. Ali was an exceptional cat. She had her health issues, but she also seemed to understand that Tim had his, too. She was his best buddy, support when he was not well, and, as you can see in her photo, a beautiful cat.
I am sorry for the loss of this beautiful kitty.
Unfortunate as it is, she had significant health issues for much of her life. It was her liver that finally brought her to the point of no return, perhaps because of having to deal with so many strong drugs to control her medical issues. That’s just my guess since the liver processes things like medication in the blood stream.
may she continue
gently purring in their hearts.
I know Ali will. I was encouraged to see how many of their Facebook friends stopped by to offer support and condolences, too. I think there were over 75 individual notes the last time I saw their Facebook notice about Ali. It’s doubtlessly more by now.
That is so sad.
I think she was maybe three or four years old. I don’t recall exactly.
