Louie died ten years ago today. He was a sweet, smart kitty boy.
A new Zealand friend took a photo of Louie sleeping on my computer chair and turned Louie into Captain Me-Ow. It was strangely appropriate. Louie was a super cat!
Louie was a shelter cat. I only had him 22 months before he died of lymphoma.
When I picked up Louie’s ashes, one of the veterinary technicians who raised pedigree kitties offered me Andy. Later, knowing I wanted a companion for Andy, she offered me Dougy.
Though I was pleased to have the kittens, I never forgot Louie. Every August 1st, Louie memories fill my day.
Sorry to hear that… sometimes it happens..
Yes, for certain.
What a sweetie!
He was!
We cannot even imagine the loved kittens could leave us.
But you share years of happiness and memories.

Pensées pour Louie
So true….
I’m sorry his stay was so short – but you gave him a good last stage
Yes, I expected him to have long life here
Louie was beautiful. I wish he had been with you longer.
Me, too. He was a puppy dog-like and affectionate for a cat.
Louie was a very beautiful boy! I know you still cherish him deep in your heart. Glad you had some good time together even if it was too short.
Yes, he was a great kitty boy!
We wish you and Louie could have had more time together, but her certainly knew he was loved. Those Ginger Boys are great !
Yes, male ginger tabby cats are exceptional cats.
What a handsome fellow he was… it matters not how many years have passed, still we miss them.. that never changes… I’m so happy you shared, even if too short, wonderful time together. You are a loving caretaker to your little ones.
He was a sweetheart of a cat!
22 months is not long enough. In the last 6 years I love 3 of my favorites. (They are all my favorites but these had been with me quite a while.) I still miss them all.
I’m sorry. I know the hurt of their loss.
Louie was a handsome boy. I am sorry you didn’t get to have more time with him.
Me, too. I figured I’d have him till he was even 20 or so. He died at age seven, based
A friend for a short time, remembered for a lifetime. Louie was a wonderful cat, and a handsome kitty boy, Doug. You have made a beautiful memorial to him here, and he is included in Elbert’s Garden, too.
Yes, his only “flaw” was some of the rings on his tail were a bit lighter than most of the others.
I am scared of of loosing my kitty. Washe is 15 yrs old now and my best friend 🐱
I never find it easy myself. I’ve lost three kitties over the years. They do become family.
Louie looks so much like a character kitty. His orange glow is so soothing to look at. A great memorial for Louis. The songs are awesome

Louie was the most handsome tabby I’ve ever seen. His markings, especially on his head, were especially handsome.
Louie was a beautiful cat, Doug. I know you miss him, I still miss all of ours who have gone “to the Bridge”. The memories are sweet, but we miss them. Purrs.
Yes, I feel the same.
Doug, I’m sorry about Louie, he sure looks like a sweet and beautiful cat. I wish our pets had longer lives. 🙁
Me, too. I had Louie only 22 months. He and I were best buddies.
