Last and First

 PO'Monday!

2nd to last photo of outside PO'M.

Last outdoor photo of The PO'M!

Inside Paddy, on my lap.

My love Paddy O'Malley stole my heart very early.

He appeared in the winter of 2010, and we TNR'd him in March, 2011.

Paddy was the only stray that I've trapped so far, who walked out of the trap after being neutered, and strode back to me for some hugs.  

All other cats ran away once free, and only returned when it was mealtime.

The Rainbow Bridge has had too much traffic recently.

Our friend Pocket ran off last week, and he is sorely missed.

Consider leaving a word or two of comfort; trust me, it really helps!

An Ocean of Love❤️

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

for all for your kind sentiments!

We've received so many tributes, love, and tears, traveling to us from all over the world.

An ocean of love for Paddy O'Malley!

We miss his goofiness, his adorable squeak (I still hear it, about once a day), and the feeling of his sleeping body in my lap.

We'll never know where he came from, but Paddy found love, food, shelter, and discovered his talents as my hair-stylist and acupuncturist, when he choose to make his home in our yard.

The immense joy of having him inside the house, too quickly followed by his sudden and out-of-the-blue leaving, was a shock that still feels surreal.

If you don't mind, I'll continue PO'Mondays for some little while; there are many images of him to share.

Devastation

 Paddy O'Malley was hiding in a corner this morning; he'd had some serious bouts of diarrhea overnight.

He couldn't walk straight, having a wobble to his head, and he was breathing very, very hard.

Thankfully, our veterinarian's office found a way to get him into their schedule immediately.

The radiograph above shows that his lungs were full of stuff when there should have only been air, and there is a round lump.

No infection or reaction to meds caused this.

This is cancer, and there was no way back for him.

We let him run to The Rainbow Bridge.

My Paddy O!, my boyfriend, my ❤️ cat!

The Hubby and I devastated.

Was preparing a post to show how well he and Sweetie were getting along, and how all day yesterday, while in the jury box supposed to be concentrating on the evidence, I kept thinking about how lucky I was to be able to go home to his purrs and the tiny squeak he makes when asking for some snuggles.

Will be offline for awhile, as we try to adjust to a world that doesn't have Paddy O'Malley in it anymore.

Farewell, Angel Paddy!

You taught us how to love, and we received your love in return.
