I lost my long time friend yesterday, Easter Sunday. He was 21 years old and we had been through a lot together.
He was born to me in September of 1986. He was one of 4 kittens. He was the first one out of the box. We gave 2 away and kept 2. We kept Primer and Bondo.......named after a car hobby that my ex-husband had.....cars. Primer was the grey tabby and Bondo was the orange tabby. Bondo mysteriously disappeared one night but Primer was around for the past 21 years. He has been with me through good times and bad and even along for the ride from California to Tennessee with his new brother and sister. Two years ago we brought them all to our new home and that is where Primer lived his final days. I had struggled with whether or not I should put him to sleep but I just couldn't do it. He was eating and still using his box so I decided to let him live out his days. He passed away peacefully on March 23, 2008. Easter Sunday in my husbands lap as we both petted him. Today there is a hole in my heart.......I know he is crossing the Rainbow Bridge and is completely restored. You will be deeply missed my Primer Pal......XOXOXO
