My sweet Filou lost his last battle- memorial pictures #52/53

[Kirsten]

Lay down,
your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling.
You have come to journey’s end.

Sleep now, and dream
of the ones who came before.
They are calling,
from across a distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see.
All of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms,
you’re only sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

(Annie Lennox, Into the West)

This is such a beautiful tribute to him, the photos you posted capture his purrsonality so well, a testimony of the wonderful life he had with you.

The last picture broke my heart. Yes, I would say, he was ready to go... (((HUGS)))

Barbara,

Your tribute to Filou is beautiful as is he - a wonderful cat with a beautiful soul. Always remembered, always loved, rest in peace dear little Filou

You and Siegmar are in my thoughts and I wish you peace. Love, Betty

The picture of Filou and Tigris sleeping together is really cute! I love the ones of Filou on the balcony. I'm pretty sure Siegmar took the first one... Filou is keeping an eye on what you're doing inside, Barbara - and in the next one, I'm sure Filou has spotted a bird.

Filou took his job as a groomer very serious but of course that was because he loved you so.

In the last picture I can see he was ready to go.

Rest in peace, dear Filou! Tigris will be happy to see you.

Barbara, hugs to you and Siegmar.

I showed My Friends at Poco Loco the Photo of Filou and Tigris in their Santa Hats and we had a moment of silent prayer for them.
We hope that they were able to come and enjoy the Tacos, Salsa Chips Water and Tiger Stripe Ice Cream.
Filou and Tigris are together for eternity and will have a great time exploring the World , until you are all reunited in a Special Place.
One Fine Day

I'm so very sorry for your lose. I know the huge hole in your heart. Just know that he is happy and whole again. I'm sure Hobbes is showing him around.

What a wonderful tribute. I enjoyed seeing the pictures and hearing more about him. Filou knew that he was loved very much and from the last 2 pictures it did look like he was ready to go. You'll both be together again one fine day. Please take care.(((HUGS)))

We are sorry for your loss. Filou was a beautiful cat. This is a very difficult decision for cat lovers, but always the right one. We know when it's time.
