Please join us in sending your condolences to Melissa of Melissa’s Mochas, Mysteries and Meows on the sudden loss of her beloved tortie, Truffles.
GOOD DAY SUNSHINE
Social Media
ONE OF A KIND
I don’t know how to say good-bye.
I thought you were invincible; though,
You used up many of your nine lives.
You ruled us all with an iron paw;
Never took “no” for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, you’d bark to signal your
Displeasure and sometimes raise a paw.
I always joked that you were bi-polar.
When I told people you were a calico
They immediately understood what I meant.
Today was unnaturally quiet in the house.
Can a home seem empty with eight cats?
I will miss waking up at night to find you
Sitting next to me and staring at me.
I will miss you yelling at us as you did
When you wanted breakfast and dinner.
I will miss watching you lounging and snoozing
On the porch settee on a warm afternoon.
But most of all I will miss your kisses!
When kitten Sawyer befriended you,
We suspect you were imparting your
Wisdom and secrets for controlling us.
Time will tell if he was a good listener.
But whatever he may have learned,
Neither Sawyer nor any other cat
Can or will replace you in our hearts.
Lily Olivia, you were one-of-a-kind.

Stunning!

Sunny and beautious!!!
That is very beautiful <3
So beautiful Astrid!
Mom cried when she heard last night, she said it was like losing her Tortie, Saffie. She loved Truffles as if she were her own. If there was anything she could do to make her mom feel better she would do it in a second. Love Dolly
You would always see Saffie in a sun puddle too, her nickname was the Sunshine Kitty, it must be a Tortie think.
Good day, Sunshine indeed!!! Astrid – you look luxuriously beautiful laying out in the sun like that. Sampy is so wishing that he could lay out with you. He is sitting here admiring your lovely photos. He is also sending you a kiss for every ray of sunshine, and all of his love. Hugs from all of us to all of you!
Hurray for sun puddles!
Noodle and crew
What true Tortie beauty. Sleek and colored like the rarest confection.
There’s nothing better than sunbathing!
Sun Puddles: When our friends have sudden loss, we hold those we love even dearer, heading for the sunshine being a lovely thing to do. Enjoy your sun-day, sweet Astrid. Purrrrs….
Enjoy your sunbathing!
Purrs xx
Athena and Marie
Happy sunbathing! I like to lie in the sun too until I am so hot I almost pass out!
Sunshine is a definite good thing! Enjoy.
We were very sad to learn of Truffles sudden passing and have written to Miss Melissa…………As for lying in the sunshine – Astrid you look like you’re enjoying it a LOT!
Hugs, Sammy
You are certainly a beautiful tortie enjoying the sun!! Don’t get overheated!!
Is that big cat cup full of nip? If so can we come over and visit?
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Enjoy your sun!
That is an awesome sun puddle you have there, Astrid!
I can imagine that your fur is hot to touch. Bentley comes inside and will be so hot from catching some rays! I’m very sad for Melissa. ♥
Is that a huge cup of *gasp* catnip behind you???
You seem awfully calm if it is….
