It feels kinda weird to be doing our Sunday Selfie without Crockett, but it feels kinda weird to be doing anything around here wifout Crockett.
We's all managing. Da mommas still miss him tons. And I miss him A LOT.
I'm not eating like I used to - I'm eating enuf dat my pals don't gotta be worried, but it is less than I woulda. And I meow late at nite when I get sad. And I want a lot more pets - I got a lot of affeckshun from him, so I need it from da mommas now.
Angelique is being a good buddy. She hangs out wif me (we haven't had a single squabble) and she gives da mommas a lot of luv too.
But we still miss our orange guy.
Da mommas had been planning on adding in anudder kitty either this year or next - so they could have Travis, Crockett, and Bowie (if ya don't know da reference, ya obviously ain't from Texas). Now I guess it'll just be me and Bowie when they get him.
Which will probably be sooner rather than later. Grandma misses having an orange boy of her own.
We both wore our picnic bandanas today - hopefully we'll get some of dat tasty Memorial Day food tomorrow. And hopefully momma will ackshually get back to letting me comment on my pals' blogs too (she promised!).
Awww. I feel for you all and shed a tear too not seeing Crockett with you on the selfies—not having Crockett there to share with and to raise a smile, as he always did. Fate and kind hearts will bring a little guy to your door and when he does it will be with all the love and Crockett approved, I am sure. So till then, celebrate with him, his good times memories this holiday, and we'll share a glass of nip wine and some treats too, just for Crockett—thoughI wont get bacon so will have to make do with a virtual rasher, MOL
ReplyDeleteLots of gentle purrs

PS Does virtual bacon smell like bacon or maybe mouse?
Hi there..we honored CROCKETT in the memorial slideshow just finished and hope you'll visit us to see him and it. We could not resist all those kitten pictures so have put a few together! Hugs, Carol, P and P.
ReplyDelete@Erin the Cat Princess - I say virtual bacon smells like bacon and mouse combined!
ReplyDelete@Peaches and Paprika - We just went to see the slideshow. Fanks so much for including our Crockett. <3
I'm still sad about Crockett too. :-( We all miss him.

ReplyDeleteI know how tough it is to lose such a loved Brother, but y'all did nail the selfies. I hope you enjoy a nice holiday.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad not to see Crockett's sweet face and little tongue sticking out. I am glad your family is going to open their heart to another kitty though and I hope that kitty will keep you company. XO

ReplyDeleteWe miss Crockett right along with you. He sure was a fun orange fellow and we send purrs of support to you Travis and Angelique. There will never be another Crockett but giving another kitty a home and getting to know them would be a way to honor his everlasting memory.

Great selfies ! We miss Crockett and his raspberries too. Purrs
ReplyDeleteTravis being an only man cat in with all those Mommas and Angie is a tall order...but you are da man to do it.
ReplyDeleteI bet future Bowie and you will be bestest ASAP
Hugs Cecilia
We know how hard it must be without Crockett. We're sure he will send the purrfect orange kitty to your Grandma.
ReplyDeleteYou always look so cute in your scarves!

We think the people who say that Crockett will help you all find a new kitty are just right ! (When we first started reading your blog our huMom wondered where Bowie was) We know how hard it is to get through all this. We are glad to see your posts and know how you all are doing.
ReplyDeletePurrs.
Travis, I can so relate to what you’re going through. I’m glad Angelique is keeping you company. Zoey still doesn’t like me much, but that’s okay. ~Ernie
ReplyDeleteWe love your PicNic bandanas! And we are sure a new boy cat would be quite an addition! We are still sending You Cats and Finley and the Moms loads of Purrayers and Strength.

We sure miss Crockett too....but Travis we see that super sadness in your sweet little face and worry about you - kitties love and care with all their hearts and I know you and Crockett were "closer than close". Maybe a new little orange guy to take care of would be the best medicine of all - you can't ever replace Crockett as he's a permanent part of your heart but you can "honor" him by adding a new family member. Sending all of you hugs.
ReplyDeleteLove, Teddy

You both took some fabulous selfies, but we can tell by your expressions that life just isn't the same, and we all understand, as we too are sad and miss Crockett. He always made us smile and laugh. We hope Bowie can join the family sooner than later. Thank you for hopping. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
ReplyDeleteOh, kitties, we miss Crockett too.Its hard seeing your pensive sad visages, too. You know having a Bowie might help with those empty feelings somewhat and then soon you will feel a lot better, so that you can think fondly of Crockett.
ReplyDeleteIf your Bowie-to-be will be a kitten, imagine the fun you'll have watching all the silly kitten antics:)
Hugs to all ♥

@Marv - Fanks.
@Pam and Teddy - Da mommas know I am still really sad. I cry at night and have been very clingy. And I'm not eating like I used to - I eat enough so they aren't worried, but it's less than I did.
