Sorry to hear that, David. The hardest thing about living with critters is
that, unless you have a macaw or a tortoise, they always leave before
you're ready for them to.
In the 29 years we've been married, we have never had a cat like Bowie.
He's completely devoted to me - he'll sit on Mom's lap until he hears Dad's
key in the door, or hears my footsteps on the basement stairs. Then he
leaps into action and runs to find me.
And if I'm in the kitchen and want to go downstairs, he can sense that and
runs to the basement door, sitting staring at it, meowing. If I don't let
him come down to my office/studio/shack with me, he just sits there and
meows until I finally go back upstairs and let him come down.
He'll sit on my lap or lie on my feet for hours while I watch TV. Before I
locked all of the cats out of the bedroom, he'd sleep curled up between my
feet or on my arm every night.
Losing him will be incredibly hard. He's the closest thing I've had to a
child.
