For Cathy and Beau

It is with the greatest sadness we heard about the passing of our friend Cathy Davis. Cathy was Beau's Mom and Beau and our Miss Boo had been boyfriendcat and girlfriendcat for many years. We came to love both Beau and Cathy. When someone loses their life at such a young age (and we do believe 49 is young) it makes us incredibly sad. There was so much life in Cathy and it seems the world got a little bit darker because she is now gone. She was a woman filled with life, and even though she had her own health struggles her faith never waivered. We are so sad too for Beau who is a very gentle soul and we hope that he will find happiness with a relative, we do worry about what will happen with Beau. Because as pawrents we know that our kitties are of the utmost importance. This does give pause to think, what would happen to any of our kitties if we were not here. It is worth a thought and maybe a plan, because we know Cathy did not think she would not be here to take care of Mr Beau, and she would want him well cared for.

What we have once enjoyed
we can never lose;
All that we love deeply,
becomes a part of us.

  1. That's a beautiful tribute, and we've seen many honour Cathy this afternoon. We wish we had known her a little better via her blogs.

    49 IS too young to pass...We're sending purrs and purrayers to all those who love her and who are grieving, and special purrs and purrayers to Beau.

  2. Though we did not know them, we are very very sad along with you. Rest in Peace Cathy, and purrs of condolences to her sister and to Beau. Perhaps she will have Beau come to live with her.

  3. The handsome Mr. Beau. We too hope he will be okay and will adapt to his new home with other cats. We are so sad it was Cathy's time to pass on. She will be very missed!

  4. I didn't know them but I felt very sad when I learned of her passing. 49 is very young to pass away and I am so sorry and Beau will grieve when his mom doesn't come back for him. That too is so sad. I hope that some family member will step up to help this precious little being.

  5. It's really so sad and 49 is too too too young! :-(

    Me and Charlie have been over to Beau's blog to leave our condolences. We've not know either Beau of mum until now but we grieve for such a loss of a young and beautiful life. We hope and pray that sweet Beau will be looked after by his auntie. We have everything crossed for him.

    Take care

  8. What a wonderful tribute to Cathy. Mom Paula used to talk to her all the time on "instant chat" on FB and Cathy was so supportive. This was a shock when we read it last night. Purring that Beau will be well taken care of.

  9. I did not really know Cathy or Beau, but this is such a sad loss. I hope Beau will be all right.

  10. That was a lovely tribute. We were just re-reading Beau's legacy post, but we keep reading is not that Cathy's writing was her legacy but her ability to reach out and connect with each and every person in the CB. There are so many tributes about how she just listened and was present for people--what a gift and how much do we take that for granted?

  11. We, too, are very, very sad to hear about the passing of Beau's mom, Cathy, and at such a young age. We'd been reading the updates on the CB, so her sudden death is quite a shock.

    We hope dear Beau will be taken care of.

  12. We are so shocked. This is just so sad. Thank you for such a lovely, inspiring, and even helpful and encouraging tribute. We purr for dear Mr. Beau and his family.

  14. We can barely think straight over the loss of Cathy. Beau will most likely be grieving along with the stress from the move. We are praying he will be ok and have faith that he will do just fine once the pecking order of a new household is established. Thanks for posting such a nice tribute to Cathy as well. I know in my heart we will meet our friends again one day.

  15. We are sooooo sad over the passing of Cathy and can't imagine just how much poor Beau must be missing his Mom. We hope he'll find love with another kind soul. We'll be purring really loudly for him.

  17. That is a beautiful tribute. It is so very, very sad. It sounds like Cathy was a very special, loving person. We send purrs to Cathy's family and big purrs to Beau to comfort him in his Mom's absence. We purr his heart will heal and that he will find love again and adjust in his new living situation.
