I have not logged on to my favorite site(Pet Talk) much lately because I lost my beloved Skooth on july 3rd. I got skootchie over 15years ago! I responded to an add in the paper selling striped grey tabbie kittens for 5 dollars. All of the kittens were cute but skootch was so adorable and very playful. Skootch loved me so much, I later got 3 more cats and I love them all but none of them love me like he did, he was my best friend. I have never known a cat quite like him and I have known a lot of cats!!

Every night for 15 years skootch has slept on the bed with me, right up by my face. He would purr him self to sleep, unfortunantly for me I didn't get any sleep till after he fell asleep, because he purred so loud!!

Skootch was one of those cats that actually played fetch (in his younger years) he loved to retrieve plastic forks, he was so funny!!

Putting my beloved Skootch to sleep was the hardest thing I have ever done, but it was time for him to go and I did not want him to suffer. When I took him to the vet she gave him the shot and checked his little heart to make sure he was gone but saddly his heart kept beating!She gave him another shot and finally his heart stopped. I know this sounds crazy but I know that he didnt want to leave me, his body was ready to die but his soul was not ready to leave me! Even the vet was surprised and she said he must have been a very special cat, and he was. I will never forget my skootchie, I miss him, Catrina my other cat who has never known life without him mourns his death too. Skootch will be missed by every one who has known him, he was one special little guy.
