Sunday Selfies: Week #257
As your host for this week’s blog hop, I am keeping my part short by just presenting my selfie.
It’s not my best selfie, but I took it in low light in the bedroom, and I’d been napping so my eyes are partially closed. The next time I get the opportunity, I’ll try to do better.
Purrs and paw-pats. Giuletta
Remembering Island Cat Wally
We wanted to do something special for our dear friend, Wally, who has flown away to the Rainbow Bridge. He was a fine, ginger tabby known for his posts, “What’s That Wally Doing?” Often he was pestering his brother Ernie.
Wally was a Tabby Cat Club member, a brave Cat Scout and leader of the Wally’s Warriors Patrol.
Wally survived severe pancreatitis that required hospitalization and a feeding tube a few years ago. Unfortunately hyperthyroidism and kidney disease finally got the better of him. Wally got his special, ginger wings this past Monday, the 18th.
Rather than just post a Wally Forever badge, we got Mom to make a special collage.
Clockwise from upper left corner: Portrait of Wally by Lou Belcher (HH and the Boys), Wally and Misty May attending the Queen of Hearts Dance in 2014, Cat Scout Wally, and the handsome, ginger boy himself.
Rest in peace dear Wally. We know you are surrounded by lots of friends, including some of our fursibs. You will be loved, missed and remembered always, and we will meet again.
Blog Hop
We are looking forward to seeing lots and lots of you here to hop with us. But even if you don’t hop, we hope you will leave a few kind words for Wally’s family if you have not already done so. Here’s the link to their blog, The Island Cats.
If you need any help with hopping, here are those tips Mom demands we print every week.
The link to add your selfie to the hop is below.- You also will find below the code to use if you’d like the hop to appear on your blog.
- Posting on Sundays is not necessary to join.
- You do not need to be a cat to enter. All anipals are welcome regardless of species.
- The hop remains open for entries through Thursday midnight.

Thanks for hopping over to see us. Have a terrific Easy Sunday.

I guess Mom forgot to “submit” my comment on this post earlier, so pawing it again here. I am still sad that Wally went OTRB. He was my pal and I miss him already. It is wonderful the collage of photos that you have put together in his honor. I have sent his family a card from me with luv.
At least we can see your face, Giulietta, that’s more than Pipo gives us a lot of the time, MOL! And…you are always such a beauty!
Wally was so very special.
Its hard to know he’s no longer with us…
Aw, we loved Wally too. You made a wonderful tribute to him, very touching. And even though Miss Misty May is a very special ladycat to ME, Spitty the Kitty, I can see she has excellent taste in ManCats, and I am honored to share her affections with Scout Wally. XOXOXO to efurryone

Thank you for this loving tribute to my special orange boy. As sad as I am, it makes me happy to know how much joy he brought to others. I will miss him forever. ~Island Cat Mom
We are so sorry to hear about Wally.
We are very sad about all the friends who have run off to the bridge recently. There are so many of them we are overwhelmed and just can’t bear to think about it.
Giulietta, you did wonderful on your selfie. We think that is what the humans call bedroom eyes.
We send our love and sympathy to Wally’s family. Everyone will miss that wonderful orange boy.
Thanks for interrupting your nap to take a selfie, Giulietta!
xxoo
