I hadn’t seen Dougy yet this morning, so I looked for him. I found him on the sofa in the guest bedroom. He died sometime during the night, and rigor mortis had set in. There was a bit of blood on his nose, otherwise I have no idea what brought this about.
I’m still in shock, had a bit of a bawl. I will miss the little guy. He was my explorer, comedian, and furniture destroyer. I will miss him every day of the rest of my life now that he joins Freckles and Louie the ginger cat.
It’s just Andy and me now. We’ll get along, but we will miss the interaction between the two kitty boys.
I’m dropping Dougy off at the veterinarian’s for a post mortem and cremation next. It is a sad day. I acknowledge your comments now because I don’t feel I will be up to replies. With my health issues, I’d always assumed I would die first, that I wouldn’t have to face the deaths of these kitties. I always thought it would be Andy’s turn first since he has the heart issues.
Douglas James Thomas ~ July 1, 2011-July 15, 2020
The ottoman will go into the guest bedroom where I won’t have a constant reminder of Dougy’s naughty side. Thank you, Dougley for all the joy you brought into my life.
WordPress is acting up. I tried to respond to the comments, and weird things happened. I will try again because I want each and everyone of you to know your comments have helped me come out of shock and begin grieving.
Just dawned on me that I didn’t comment on this actual post. I meant to at the time and then got side-tracked. I hope you and Andy are beginning to adjust to this new normal. Losing a beloved et is crushing. A small comfort is that he died at home and without some prolonged illness. Pity you’ll never know the cause.
Thanks, Peggy. It – grief – followed the usual course. Andy and I are pretty much dealing with Dougy’s death. We both have moments, like Andy meowing loudly to try to get Dougy to come and play a game they had, but those moments are rare now. I feel sad when I think of him or pass the spot where I found him dead, but time marches on. Andy seems to like being the only cat, though he still won’t get on Dougy’s ottoman unless I leave a lapboard on it. Dougy’s presence on the ottoman is strong!
It will be interesting to see if Andy ever lays claim to the ottoman.
I keep waiting for the day! It’s his as long as the lapboard is on it, but I use the lapboard for other things, too.
I have been so busy lately and out of touch that I just noticed that Dougy is gone. I am so sorry to hear the news and I am sorry for my belated response.
Thank you, Charles. It was a shock since he had a thorough check up just a few months ago when I was concerned he seemed a bit thin. He passed the exam with no indication of any health issues. (Turned out Andy was a bit heavy instead…)
That is sad. Did you find out what was wrong with him?
Sorry for the very late reply, Charles. No, I never found out why he died.
I’m truly sorry -they were such a lovely pair. I liked seeing their interactions especially because I live with a black Persian too. I am glad Andy is adjusting to life as a spoiled only but I know your hearts still break for Dougy he was truly delightful. My sincere condolences
Sorry for this late response to your thoughtful and appreciated note about Dougy. I thought I’d
responded to all I received, but happened on several today (Aug. 231st) that I somehow missed. Yes, Dougy was a fun cat, if naughty. I miss him a lot and think about him several times a day. Andy and I are getting along. We spend less time looking for Dougy (Andy), but Andy respects Dougy’s ottoman. If I put a lapboard on top of it, Andy will stop for a cat nap or bath, but won’t stop and get on it if the lapboard is missing.
Oh, I am so sorry. I know what a hole they leave in our lives.
It was rough. Andy and I are doing much better now. I think Andy’s quick adjustment to being a singleton helped me more than anything. I always dreaded the day one of them died, mostly for the one that survived. My fears were unfounded. And thank you, Ellen.
I am so sorry. Cats are like little furry kids. And it hurts so much when they go. Especially when it’s earlier than you expected. I’ll miss reading about him. Take care of yourself
Sorry for the late response. I thought I’d responded to all of these messages, yet found more when I happened back on this particular post today, over a month after Dougy’s death. I appreciate your comments about enjoying reading and seeing posts about Dougy. He was delightful if naughty kitty boy, and I’ve missed him every day since I found him dead.
We’re so sorry we’re so late seeing this. Health issues of our own. But, we’re terribly sorry fur your loss. We really can’t believe Dougy\s gone. We so luvved seeing him and Andy. He will be missed. We’re sendin’ lots of hugs and purrayers fur you and Andy.
Luvs ya’
Raena, Dezi and mommy A
It is surreal to not have him around, but we are settling in to that reality. Thank you for you kind thoughts.
I am very sorry to read of Dougy’s death. I didn’t know him, but he was clearly loved. I hope there is some consolation in the fact that he died at home, amid the sounds, smells and sights that he loved, and that made him feel comfortable and safe. But his loss will undoubtedly be deeply felt, regardless. God bless you. Godspeed, Dougy.
Thank you, John.You pretty much captured how I feel about Dougy’s death. Andy and I are working through the loss. Andy seems to be happy to have the whole place to himself.
We’re so sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet Dougy. We send you comforting purrs and gentle headbonks. Purrs
Much appreciated. We are working through the grieving process and Dougy will be missed even when the tears are over.
Doug – I was so sorry to hear about Dougy. I know how much your cats mean to you and how much support they give you. I have a special place in my heart for Persians, so I am really sad another beautiful cat has left us. Please know my thoughts are with yoiu.
Much appreciated. Thank you. Yes,
Persians have a special place in my heart, too.
This is our 1st time visiting, but we had to come and offer condolences oh the loss of your sweet Dougy 🙁
It is never easy to say goodbye to a beloved kitty, and we know he was loved, so he was happy.
WE send comforting purrs.
Purrs, Georgia and Julie
and mum Nancy
Andy walked across my laptop just at the moment I opened your comment. He hit the “trash” function, and I am glad I was able, finally, to relocate and restore it because I much appreciate your thoughtful and comforting words. Thank you.
So sorry of the loss of your sweet Dougie. Soft Pawkisses to comfort you and Andy🐾😽💞
Fly free beautiful Soul💗
Much appreciated. Dougy was a wonderful companion and lots of fun.
Sorry, I’m so late, Doug. Just shook me up a bit. I thank Dougie for making himself available to be recorded so well my you.
I’m just uptight mate.
Take care, and Andy to have Andy, and so many Dougie meories! Cheers, Sir.
Thank you, Gerry. We are coming along. Observing Andy and his adjustment has been, oddly, helpful for mine, probably because it sometimes makes me cry. The blogging community has been incredible, too, in its support, suggests, love, and concern. I knew the kitty boys had a reasonably large following, yet bit is amazing that condolences came in from every continent but Antarctica.
I think you are doing well, Doug, its not easy we all know that.
As you say, a mutual downer shared with Andy and yourself, it does help a little.
Take care mate.
.
I think we are dealing with it pretty well. It’s a slow process just the same.
Time doesn’t heal, but it can ease things, Dougy, mate.
All the best for you and Andy. ♥
Thanks. We are more adjusted to this reality each day.
This is good to hear, Doug.
Give Andy a scritch for me please.
Will do, Gerry.
Thanks.
hgggggggggggggggggggggggtf**asI appreciate you comments because /i know you have a big heart when it comes to ki/**************ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww (Andy just added his message and changed the screen brightness.)
We’ll try again, thank you for you heartfelt condolences.
I am so sad to hear this. I couldn’t say anything when I read at first. I just cried. You know how much I loved Dougy. RIP Dougy. I will always remember. So much love to you both, dear Doug and Andy, my thouhgts are with you. nia
Sorry it took so long to respond, nia. I thought I’d answered all the comments, but discovered more today (August 21st), among them, yours. I broke my heart to find Dougy dead and I
don’t have a day that I don’t think about him several times. If I cry less often thinking about him, I do tear up when I see his photo or think about things he did that made me laigh.
I can almost understand you and feel too, you know, I lived this, I know this sadness… never been gone. But I try to remember our nice memories… My heart always with you and with lovely Andy, take care of yourself both, stay in safe, so much love to you both, nia
Thank you!
Dear Doug, I haven’t been around much lately, and to read this… i can’t imagine the shock and grief you must be experiencing. All you can do is hang in there with Andy and take it day by day. Prayers.
I definitely was a shock. With my health issues, I fully expected to die or end up in a care center before they died. I even made arrangements for their care in those circumstances, one where they’d be together. Andy is starting to realize he has 100% of me now. Dougy claimed me as his early on, though he didn’t fight Andy when we had our times together.
You and Andy will get even closer and get through this together.
That process has begun, actually, with both Andy and me spending more time together.
Have a hug (socially distanced) – that is very sad news indeed – and little Dougy was just 9, that is not an age for a healthy kitty to die!
I hope to learn specifically the cause when his veterinarian completes the post mortem.
So sorry!
Thank you. I feel numb, but all the messages from everyone have helped a lot.
Doug, I am “liking” this post out of solidarity with you. My heart goes out to you with this loss of Dougy. He will be missed here, too, and Elbert’s Garden will get more flowers in Dougy’s memory. I grieve with you and Andy, and hope your veterinarian can help you achieve closure on Dougy’s life. As MSphoebe cat stated, you are not alone and many care for you. Reach out if you need us. Much love to you and Andy from all of us here. <3
Thank you, Lavinia. I appreciate your thoughtfulness at this sad time. Many, indeed.
Dearest Doug,
Reading this today I was left stunned and devastated for you and Andy. These kinds of losses are the hardest to understand why, to have happen so unexpectedly. My heart and sympathy are with you, I have been there just a few years ago with my Clove.
As someone living with a chronic illness I understand how much fur kids become your life and companion, so I know the loss of Dougey hurts so bad.
Please take comfort in knowing how happy and loved Dougey felt with you and the wonderful life you gave him and Andy. The boys are so loved the world over, Dougey will not be forgotten. Andy and you will need one another as you grieve your loss, do remember you are not alone and you have many who care for you. If you need any thing, please do not hesitate to reach out. You are an amazing Dad and Dougey went peacefully knowing only love. Thank you for sharing Dougey, he was quite the bad boy with a heart of gold. We will miss him. Purrs and lots of love, Pearl & Mom
💙🌈🐾😿
Thank you for a thoughtful comment. ?You captured Dougy’s nature for sure. Though he destroyed furniture, he had a sweet nature. I miss him a lot, as does his brother.
I can’t express how sorry I am. Dougy was a superstar and lives on in all our hearts. Take good care of Andy and give him extra affection from our family.
Thank you. I will because he needs me more than ever, I need him.
My deepest condolences about Dougy. It’s always rough loosing someone so close to us and it’s even worse when it’s unexpected. I’m so very sorry. It was always a delight reading about your adventures with the boys. I know it’s hard but try and remember that all our furry friends will always be with us. Hugs to you and Andy.
Thank you. You definitely have it right as I still have fond memories of Jerry the cocker spanielk and Laddie, my grandmother’s dog, both of which died in the 1950s. I have hundreds of photos a many videos of the kitty boys, something I am glad for.
Oh No! I am So Very Sorry! Just out of curiosity, how old are the Kitty Boys? I know this won’t help much, but he is at least happy now .over the Rainbow Bridge and in God’s hands. You are/were a fantastic cat dad. Is he the cat that got the drastic haircut? I wonder if that could have put him under stress?… Prayers My Friend.
They had a 9th birthday on July 1. They both had haircuts on July 9, and Dougy’s was especially brutal because of severe matting. Thank you for your comments. They helped.
Oh Doug – we are so sorry to read this ! We send purrayers and Power of the Paw to you and Andy. So many blogging cats have gone Over the Bridge lately – all so heartbreaking !
WordPress has been acting up today. I hope this appears where you can see it. Thank you for your comment. It’s been a rough day for Andy and me, and your comments have been among many comforting words.
Such shocking and sad news. I am so sorry for the loss of your handsome boy. XO
Thank you. I’m numb with grief at this point.
No wonder you’re numb, Doug, Dougy occupied a big chunk of your heart, which must fell broken right now.
Love to you and Andy; he must wonder where his buddy has gone.
That it does Yvonne.
Oh no, we are so very sorry to read your sad news. We will miss Dougy, his interviews, his comics, his interactions with Andy, just everything. He was such a joy. I hope Dougy gets to converse again with Ms. Zulu at the other side of the rainbow bridge. We are all thinking of you; wishing you and Andy strength in this difficult time. Love and Hugs, BASQ
Thank you. Those were happy times. Yes, maybe Ms. Zulu and Dougy can catch up. He was a sweet wee soul and I miss him. Andy is dealing with it in his way, and that makes me sad.
It took Benji a while to find a new routine in the house. I guess it is easier for a dog as you can take him places to take his mind of things. It helped me too but I still miss Ms. Zulu. They are in our hearts furever. A.
She was special. ?That was a sad day when you had to let us know she passed. I hope I can keep Andy occupied. Dougy was his best friend and brother, and, of course, he knew what Andy needed for cat fun.
I could never walk by her spot in the house without actually seeing her there. Hope you find something that occupies Andy. Maybe a new game? I just found a new training program for dogs with just games (no new toys necessary) which keeps us entertained.
I’m working on things to make sure he gets involved it cat stuff. He likes video cat games, for example, so we’ll put those on whenever it looks like he’s in need. I’ve already had those vphantom cat moments where I look behind me to the spot where Dougy stopped for scritching.
Sounds like Andy is able to adjust in luxury. Be good to yourself too.
Not moping is my goal. Andy and I can be ok and sad about Dougy, too.
That sounds like the sensible thing to do.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry to hear your sad news.
Thank you, John. It happened without warning. I hope his veterinarian can find an answer for me.
My second news today of the loss of a beloved pet, and I am full of tears. Your generous sharing has brought Dougy and Andy into our lives in a delightful way. This is a sad shock. Wishing peace and comfort to you and dear little Andy.
Thank you, Anne. You comment is much appreciated and comforting. The kitty boys have brought joy and purpose vto my retirement years. Dougy was a big part of the weggieboy’s blog team/
I saw the title and opened your blog first thinking someone was ill. If only! I am so sorry. He was way too young. We will all miss his antics. Always loved your kitties. Hugs all around. Poor Andy. I often wonder what they think when one of their friends goes missing.
He brought joy and purpose into my retirement years, as has Andy. Nine years old is young for a Persian. Andy makes me cry watching him checking the apartment where he used to find his brother.
I don’t know, of course, but it makes me cry to see him checking around the apartment where he used to find Dougy. Thank you for your comment, Kate.
Such a shock, a dreadful new.
Do receive my friendly thoughts, dear Doug..
Bad days now and afterwards – but you have to be the same with Andy – who needs you.
What a shock, what a shock.
amitiés
Thank you. Andy has been trying to find Dougy. They were together Dougy’s whole life. It is sad here today.
Dougy left you with courage and dignity, as cats do, alone, peacefully, certainly.
He wants you and Andy to be happy, thinking of him, in Cats Paradise.
The more we love, the more we suffer..
You gave him a very happy, comfortable cat life – and now, Andy needs you so much, all the time. Does he eat ?
( You had not to drive him to the vet, he died at home, near you two )
Amitiés
Thank you. That was very comforting and made me cry.
Thank you, Doug- You always have your companion Dougy in your heart and mind with you two, Andy with you, and have to take care more – if possible – with lonely Andy
Amitiés
Andy seems to enjoy having me all to himself, though he shows signs of missing Dougy, too. Yes, Andy will need lots of care and loving because he and Dougy were littermates and together all of Dougy’s life.
We are shocked and saddened to hear about Dougy. We have no words. 😿😿😿
I had Dougy for nine years, and he was a joy to have in my life, as is Andy. I’m still in shock, have had my cries, and will figure out where Andy and I go from here.
Thank you. The shock of it hasn’t worn off. Andy is looking for his brother, and that makes me cry.
Thank you. The shock of it hasn’t worn off. Andy is looking for his brother, and that makes me cry.
Thank you, Greg. I’m trying to settle down with happy memories of sweet wee Dougy.
So sorry to read this sad and painful news about Dougy. This must be very hard for you and Andy. I hope you can find some comfort in the beautiful memories of a beautiful cat. My thoughts are with you, my dear friend. Take care, Dough.
/I am glad I have lots of videos and photos of Dougy. My first cat exists in only one small webcam, photo.

(Andy came by and stepped on my keyboard. He’s been looking for his brother, which makes me cry.)
Anyway, the kitty boys are well documented, and I am happy I have so much of Dougy’s time with us.

I’m always in pain when I read or hear of friends losing their pets. I know it’s very hard to lose one of your furry friends. Give Andy a good hug, my friend.
I will have lots of Andy to help through this period. He’s been trying to find his brother, which, of course is sad and makes me cry.
I’ve been attending to Andy all day. It has helped me to help him.
Doug; I am truly sorry about Dougy. I understand how devastating this is; I send hugs and loves to you, as well as to Andy.
Dougy, may your journey to heaven be swift; we are honored to call you
friend ♥♥♥♥♥
Thank you. I don’t know what happened and have asked for a post mortem. In the meantime, Andy and I are lost.
So sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you.
Thank you. It’s starting to sink in and it has helped to read these comments and yours.
I am deeply sadden Doug having lost four cats. I know how cats are an important part of our lives.
Yes, I’ve cried over three, now. Thank you for you comment, Pierre.
So very sorry for your loss.
Thank you Susanne. Reading yolu comment and those of the others is helping.
Thank you, Suzanne. It was an unimaginable loss to start the day.
Oh my goodness, this is devastating! I am so sorry. What a terrible shock for you. I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed following the exploits of your two delightful boys, and it’s hard to imagine them as anything other than a twosome. Don’t worry at all about not replying quickly to our messages. Take your time. Lots of love to you and Andy from all of us at Le Château. 🖤🖤🖤
I am coming out of the shock and have begun the grieving for my sweet kitty, Dougy. Where he will be missed is when I come home and the two brothers were waiting.
It’s helped getting right on it, though the way WordPress was messing thing up earlier, I fear I’ve commented back on some, and not others.
My heart breaks for you. Sending love and happy memories of Dougly to last the rest of your life. <3
I am blessed with hundreds of pictures and videos of Dougy and Andy, something that is a great comfort.
My heart breaks for you. I will miss Dougy too. Many many hugs and purrs.
Thank you. I don’t know where this blog will go with just Andy. He and Dougy were a twosome for Dougy’s whole life since the kitty boys were littermates.
Thank you. I appreciate both.
Awful! My heart is broken. Traumatic! Loving strength and Hugs to you and Andy!😞♥️♥️♥️🙏
The hard part now is watching Andy running around the apartment looking for his brother. Too sad.
Really sad! The loss is going to be very hard for both of you. My prayers for the best solutions for the loss and pain.
Thank you. We get through it some way.
Yes indeed! May a big miracle lift both you and Andy up! 💕💫
Thank you. That is comforting.
Take care of yourself and Andy.🍃💐🍃
oh no… my tears are running like crazy… that is so sad to find your beloved friend that way… hugs to you … we are so sorry
I’m devastated. Dougy and Andy have been with me since kittenhood and have been a great source of joy in my retirement.
Oh my god I’m so sorry. You and Andy are in my thoughts.
Run free little kitty xxx
Thank you. It’s been rough, but Andy and I are dealing with our loss.
I am really saddened to read this. I send you my condolences, Doug.
I wish you courage to face this
In friendship
Michel
Thank you, Michel. Dougy was my comedian cat, the explorer.
He was also the ottoman one !
I still haven’t been able to make myself move it out of the living room.
I understand, Doug.
Oh no, what terrible news! This has been a hard year anyway, but losing someone in your family has to be the worst. Take very good care of yourself and Andy, Doug.
Thank you. I’ve thought the same, Hangaku Gozen.
I’ve lost three close friends in that same year, and we all know about COVID-19.
I am so sad the hear this. It must have been a shock to you.
Hugs to you, my friend.
Kristiina
Yes, when I saw Dougy’s body, it was obvious he was dead at just two weeks after his and Andy’s 9th birthday.
I hope his veterinarian can find a cause. It makes no sense to me at this time.
Thank you, Kristiina. I think I’ve responded twice your comment. WordPress has been acting up on me today.
Don’t worry, I see only one.
Warm hugs!
Kristiina
Just like WordPress to complicate a stressful time. Just in time, too, I had a Microsoft update to interfere with use of my laptop when I was trying to complete responses.
Oh NO :'(
It still has me in a state of shock.
OM Gosh, Doug. All I can offer is a virtual hug my friend. It always hurts to lose a family member. Huge hug. 😞
Thanks, John. I appreciate that.
I”m so sad to hear this. My thoughts are with you and Andy.
Thank you, Correne. It’s been a rough day and I appreciate that.
Thank you for letting us know, though the news is distressing.
Prayers are with you and Andy.
Much appreciated, Jeanne. Thank you.
So sad to hear this news, there are never enough words to describe to loss of a much-loved pet. I’ve enjoyed his adventures.
That’s a fact, yet somehow everyone manages to say something that helps.
I grieve with you Andy.
it was totally unexpected. With my health issues, I always expected the kitty boys to outlive me. I even arranged for them to go to a friend in that circumstance. Andy and I already are lost without our brother and little buddy.
I know you and Andy are struggling with your tragedy. I also think that you guys will be able to support each other as you keep the memory of Dougy alive with ❤️ love. You know your blog friends are with you!
I appreciate that, too. It’s been a huge comfort.
Thank you. It has been a day. Andy and I are adjusting, if sad.
