Sunday Selfies: Week #310
These photos were taken on July 8, the day after we took Mauricio to the vet hospital. At that point we had no idea he would be leaving us so soon. I apologize for the blurriness of the photo on the right.
As usual Mau was telling us one of his stories. He was always a talker, and I already notice how much quieter the house is without him.
We have received two more beautiful badges in Mau’s memory. The first is from our dear friends, Teddy and Mom Pam (Two Spoiled Cats). They gave our sweet angel the most gorgeous blue wings.
The second is from Pipo and Mom Ingrid (Meezer’s Mews and Terrieristical Woofs).
Thank you for these mementoes.
I will be sharing so much more about Mau in the days and weeks to come. He may not be with us physically, but he is and will remain in our hearts.
I will do my best to reply to all the comments and e-mails in upcoming days. Almost everything I read sets me to crying uncontrollably, so it could be slow going for a while. Everyone has been so kind and supportive. This is the best community, and the kitties and I feel so thankful and blessed to be part of it.
Finally, all the Kitties Blue and I hope you will return here on Tuesday for our Eighth Blogoversary as well as for a special Wordless Wednesday photo and for Allie and Mau’s Fourth Anniversary party on Thursday. Though Allie is earthbound and Mau is with the angels, he had planned a special party, and we all agree it should take place.
Hopping Time
It’s now time for you to grace us and all your friends with your selfie. We can hardly wait to see your sweet and smiling faces. And remember, it is not necessary to post on Sundays to join us. The hop remains open through Thursday.
Wishing all a happy and easy Sunday.
What a beautiful angel Mauricio was, is, and always will be. We will never forget him or his sweet face, and we know you won’t either.
What a sweet love Mau was. He was such a dear friend and good cat scout. He will be missed by many and forever remain in our hearts. Prayers to you at your place as you go through this very difficult time.
Mau was such a handsome mancat. A little blur will never change that. Purrs for all of you.

No reason to apoloize for the (very slightly) blurry photo…every photo is precious because you will always be glad to see any reminder, especially as the years go by.
We were so sad to hear of Mau’s passing and are sending warm hugs to all of you. Those were a couple of great last pictures to remember him by.
We didnt’ do a selfie today because we wanted to memorialize our sweet Gracie’s 15 angel Gotcha day. We are still so sorry about your loss and know how hard it is. Purr purr purr

Shoko, Tyebe and Jean

We are so very sorry to hear about Mau.
We are sending bunches and bunches of Noodle hugs and kitty kisses to you…
Have a serene Sunday,
Noodle and crew
RIP sweet angel Mau and have fun chasing leaves with my Angel Amanda, which she left us in January at 19 years old.
Big healing hugs to you both and loving scritches to all the kitties. ♥♥♥
Oh my, that is another furry family member gone – just two or three days ago Douglas mourned the silent passing of one of his black Persian kitties, Dougy, aged just 9. And a few weeks ago Mrs Angloswiss took her Tabby offline, as she did not want to share her last time. Tabby had a good run at 16 but was suffering from kidney disease.
While the cat community is always good for a smile or two on the best of days, it is weeks like these where one beloved cat after another seem to pass that my heart is heavy.
Corona-friendly distanced hugs from Germany.
We aren’t going to be able to hop today as the Mom is away, but we wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you. Mau will be missed by all in Blogville.
We are so very, very sorry about Mau’s passing. He made footprints on so many hearts and will be remembered forever.
This is a very special post today ; Mau’s selfies are lovely. Purrs
I am so sorry that Mau has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, our eyes are wet and we send lots of hugs and purrs your way.
Mau was such a handsome boy. Those selfies are adorable. He will be missed by all who knew him and Cat Scouts will never be the same. XO
Please take your time. Grieve. Cry. Avoid the internet…whatever YOU need to do.
Hugs and purrs during this difficult time.
Seeing my handsome Angel Mau made us all smile and cry at the same time. It’s so hard to believe he is gone. I love the one of him talking. He was my wonderful husband and I will love him from here until we are together at the Bridge.
smoochies and love to my Angel Mau,
Allie
We are so sad that Mau had to leave, it makes our hearts ache and our whiskers weepy wet. Ann did an image for you too, it’s over at the Cat Blogosphere. Hugs and love from all of us.
We are so sad to hear about Mao’s crossing the bridge. Though he will always be in the hearts of his humans, he will be with his bridge buddies, at peace and pain-free, looking down on you guys and we wouldn’t be surprised if he sent you a message or two. Or three. R.I.P., sweet Mau!
Oh my, tears flowing as I read this. I am so sorry for your loss. Mau was an awesome cat ambassador. I know Grandpa Mason of Tiny Kittens and his fursibs were all waiting for him to arrive with his awesome purrsonality and cat scout skills. Mau will be missed🌈😿🙏🏻
I was stunned when I learned of Mau’s passing. As with many of us, we expect our little ones to go on and on. We never think of the unexpected and unwanted regarding them. They are precious, deeply loved, and cherished family.
Please accept my condolences again, and know that I, as does everyone here, know this terrible pain. We are holding you in a virtual hug. But, just as loving regardless of the distance.
He was so handsome. I imagine his first and last photos are very special.
Dad and I send our heartfelt purrs and purrayers your way on the passing of your dear Mau. We learned of it late, but dad says to tell you he feels the pain you feel on the loss of such a close kitty companion. Take care of yourself, and know that so many others on here share your grief.
Lovely selfies of sweet Mau.
We shall miss mim.
Hugs and purrs xx
We’re thinking a lot of you, sweet KittiesBlue. Angel Mau was very loved💗Soft Pawkisses to comfort you all🐾😽💞
Our Selfie today is a tribute to our strong and amazing boys and how I believe with all my heart that they ARE still with us in so many ways. Mau’s passing was as hard to take as Sammy’s was – they were supposed to be here forever – and indeed they are – always in our hearts. All the love in the blogosphere is so helpful of course. Friends get us through the toughest of times. The selfies of Mau above captured him chatting – they have so much to tell us sometimes! I’m sure he will continue chatting to you in your dreams………………
Love and Hugs, Pam and Teddy
I love Mau’s selfies today. Lots of purrs to you. <3
So sorry to hear of Mau’s passing, he will be dearly missed, not least because he was so handsome and such an active selfie taker. Our heart goes out to you all at this time, and may your warm memories keep the sadness away.
Gentle purrs

Its so hard to loose a furry friend, indeed a fur-baby…all the more so when you didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye.
Years ago we also unexpectedly lost a kitty (Simba), at age 7…he just went to sleep and he never woke up…he looked so peaceful…but the house was SO empty and quiet, even though I had 2 toddlers about and another kitty…he had been such a conversationalist…and told us all kinds of tales, esp when we came back from being out of the house, even for a short while…
Adding our hugs and love and Pipo’s meezer purrs.
(((((((((( ♥ ))))))))))
Losing a family voice like Mau is hard and the silence hits you.
He will be missed so very much by so any who love the Kitties Blue family. Words are never enough but you know we all feel some of your great loss.
I fully understand how responding to each and every condolence message can be. I lost my Persian kitty, Dougy, July 15th. It happened suddenly, was a total shock.
Initially, I had no intention of answering condolences so soon after Dougy”s death, then I just did it. The messages, like yours, left me crying, bur were full of love and concern. They literally came from every continent except Antarctica. I knew there were readers of my blog in many places, I just didn’t realize how personal a relationship my blog’s readers have with my kitty boys and how they, too, mourn the death of Dougy.
This knowledge has helped me a lot.
Yes, I still have moments where crying needs be. The other day, Dougy’s wee brother, Andrew, barely moved while sleeping. Yes, I touched him to verify he was alive. Yes, I cried when he woke up and gave his, “Don’t do that!” look.
Andy, too, watches places where his brother used to pop around the corner. Yes, that’s made me cry, too.
You aren’t alone. Dougy was a talker, too, so I know that emptiness you feel that only Mau could fill.
I don’t need a response. I know how that goes. Just know that I send my love, hugs, and hope that your heart will fill with joy when Mau pops into your thoughts. I know Mau will live with you forever, just as Dougy will with me.
The loss of our dear friend Mau is still a huge shock to us. We send our heartfelt prayers and purrs of support at this very sad time. He was greeted by all his friends at the Bridge and we are sure he is already watching over us all.
We are so sad that Mau was needed so suddenly at the Bridge. Through your posts about him, we fell in love with his larger than life personality, and we will miss him greatly. We know that he will live on in spirit forever, and we hope that one day, memories of him will bring more smiles than tears. Love and hugs to you all, dear friends.
