Here's Skeeter looking around his backyard, on the lookout for intruder kitties or prey. Skeeter was a fabulous hunter and he taught LC and Ayla how to be good hunters as well. He lived with The Big Thing for 15 years, but lately his kidneys started failing and he went to the Rainbow Bridge Wednesday afternoon. The Big Thing realized that all he wanted to do was hide in the bathtub and he wasn't eating anything at all, so it was time. Everything was very peaceful and Skeeter went while looking into The Big Thing's eyes. He was buried near the pond, which was the last place he visited outside. LC, Ayla and The Big Thing are really going to miss him, so please drop by and let them know that you care, if you haven't already.
Skeeter was a hunter of great renown.
Sadly his kidneys let him down.
Now he can run free
As fast as can be.
He's having fun at the Bridge and he'll never slow down.

That was lovely Karen Jo, it is such a sad day...
Oh, how sad ! I knew Skeeter. It's always the kidneys that's really the main cause of death with cats ! Each time I read such sad news I look at my ol' Lisa (17) but she still seems to be in good health and has an extraordinary appetite !
What a beautiful tribute. We are just happy he passed the hunting torch to Ayla. She will make him proud.

Oh poor Skeeter! I just visited them a few weeks ago and I remember crying then because he was so sick.
Lovely tribute Karen Jo. Yes, it sure does seem like it's the kidneys a lot. :(

Your limerick for Skeeter is so nice; we love seeing him (in our hearts) that way.

So many good kitties go to the bridge of late. It is sad.
