Last time, I featured Tycho in the Pets on Quilts Show, because Tycho loves quilts. Constantly. Too much.
Wedge wasn't all that into the quilting thing.
Tried to bribe him with treats to pose on my Halloween Hexagons. Not much luck.
Did someone run through your layout and mess it all up? Gee, that's terrible...I think it was the white cat.
He spent most of his days napping on the bed, which was, occasionally and to his dismay, used for scrap sorting.
Or he napped in sunny spots, like in front of my design wall. {Don't go away, sunny spot!}
Or sometimes he protested the placement of things on his spots by draping himself awkwardly over them.
Oh, look, it's a sunny chair. You go ahead and baste, Mom; I'm good here.
And his favorite spot, of course, was on my lap, preventing me from doing anything sewing related...like sorting those patterns.
Unfortunately, this post is in past tense. After a five month battle with lymphoma, Wedge passed away last week. It breaks my heart that he never got to find the sunny spots in Washington.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the loss of your fur baby. I lost 2 in the last 3 months and we had them both for 16-18 years. The last one was the hardest because I was so attached to her. It's wonderful to have photos of our fur babies to remember and cherish them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your kitty. It's hard to lose a good friend.
ReplyDeleteOh Kate I am sorry you have lost Wedge, it is the thing I hate about our beloved pets that they leave us. Thank you for the memories though. Susie x
ReplyDeleteReally sorry for your loss. We lost Ben our Basset to cancer in Feb and I still miss him terribly. We have them for so short a time but they enrich our lives no end and I wouldn't change a single thing. Wedge was obviously one well loved cat.

ReplyDeleteHelloooo ~ Let me introduce myself, I am Sweet William The Scot, and I am taking the tour of the quilts. I am more of a dog blogger, but I have made three quilts in my lifetime. Black cats and Halloween definitely go together. I am sorry for your loss of Wedge. I hope your heart can be light with the memories of the joy he brought into your life.
