My dear, nawtee Payton. . .

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so sorry, Debby. I am sure he was a happy little guy who knew how much he was loved. Run free and play at the bridge, Payton.

Oh Deb.... LES here. I am so sorry to read about little Payton. He may have been nawtee, but he was loved! And he knew it!

I am sorry that I am just reading this today, but know that I am sending many prayers and warm wishes to you and your family. I know that you are hurting, but I hope that knowing that all of us here on PT share your grief helps.

Godspeed to the RB little Payton... and play hard. Look for Grandpa! Play together!

Debby....I don't know if this will help....but when my sister and I were teens, "her" cat was a sweet tabby named Squeak.

Squeak did get hit by a car....but managed to reach the yard...there were no apparent signs of damage, but the internal injuries were what did the damage.

The same thing happened to my neighbour last year(she will NOT make her cats indoor kitties! grrr. And don't take that wrong - I KNOW you had taken great care to cat-proof your yard and kept an eye on your babies...like kids, just two seconds, and they can wander off. My neighbour just lets hers wander all day anywhere...)

Maybe that happened to poor Payton.

hugs hugs hugs to you!

Gary, that was soooo sweet. I had completely forgotten about Walter Payton and I'm sure he is welcoming his name sake, little Payton, with open arms.

Waler Payton , besides being a Hall Of Fame Running Back,was a Fine Man,whose nickname was Sweetness.
Now he has a Little Payton to be his Companion and go with him,wherever he goes.
Will Little Payton have some stories to tell you about the Football Games that this Gridiron Greats are having,and the Fantastic Banquets where both Paytons will be Honored Guests.
One Fine Day.

So sorry for your loss.

Thank you again, everyone for your kind words. I miss him terribly. We haven't moved his dish, and his toys are still scattered all over the house. I keep finding little reminders of how nawtee he was. Today, as I was straightening up, I found one of the baby's socks in the dining room in a box. Payton LOVED socks! He would steal them out of the dryer and take them to play. He also loved boxes. What cat doesn't, right? I also found a stash of things from one of our higher shelves hidden in a corner behind some furniture.

My little boy is still with me in his own, special way.
