    Stunning Opus. I reread his COTD story, and your vet had referred to him as "stupidly old". Thanks to you and your love and care, he lived a longer and happier life than he would have anywhere else. However, for us who love our furkids, it's never long enough.

    I hope his kitty friend and you all are exchanging cuddles and hugs.

    I just looked at and reread his page too. What a beautiful, sweet boy! And what a wonderful long life full of love that you and he all shared for so long!

    Rest in peace, beloved Opus. Deepest sympathy to all of you who love him and grieve him so much. Your love is eternal and you will always be together.

    I am so sorry for your great loss. Having remembered Opus well as he sparked a lot of attention for me and my cat-loving work colleague on his special day in October, I was sad to hear about his passing.

    Opus' story truly reflected love, respect and 20 incredible years of friendship - a legacy he has left with you for all time. This time of painful separation and loss will pass and when it does, the memories of your time with Opus will become ever more precious.

    I was fortunate in my life to be owned by a Maine Coon and can well appreciate the many characteristics with which they are blessed. Our Roxy was not only beautiful inside and out, she had a wonderful personality and an uncanny sense of humour that filled us with laughter throughout her lifetime which was all too short. I hope Opus and Roxy meet up at the RB - they'll have way too much fun together

    Thank you for sharing Opus with us and letting us know his time had come. PetTalk has so many wonderful people who understand how you feel - an important element in the loss of a good and dear little friend.

    Rest in Peace dear Opus - you were well loved and still are
    Yours in Whiskers

    I'm so sorry for your loss of beautiful Opus. I remember his story and his big old paw hanging off the chair in one photo. He was an awesome cat here on earth and will be an awesome cat at the Bridge while he waits for his loved ones. Opus had an exceptionally long, wonderful life with you and I know he will be sadly missed.

    Rest in peace and play gently at the Bridge, Opus. Look up our PT kitties who have gone before us and tell them we are waiting for that one fine day...

    We miss you. Play gently until we meet again.

    I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for letting us know. What a beautiful cat he was, and what a great age! RIP Opus.
    I don't know about the context in which your vet said he was stupidly old, but I don't see why it is stupid
