Calicokat Passed On

[calicokat]

My beloved Calicokat passed away Wednesday April 11th. She was 17 years old. She lived a long and loving life. I have had her since I was in the 8th grade. I am very sad, but happy for the life and love she gave me all those years

She was also my model for much of my photography learnings over the years. Always a willing and available model

So sorry, but as you said, you had many years together. What more can we ask for? Hope you can get through this one.

[Jaime]

I am so sorry to hear that. At the same time it only makes me think, my own cat just turned 17, and though he seems like a kitten at times, I know the reality.

I know words are meaningless at a time like this, but she will live on in your photography and in your thoughts.

Thank you, I am glad I got to spend so much time with her, she was a great photography subject :)

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Our pets become such a major part of our lives that its like losing a part of our family.

[poloman]

So sorry to hear of your loss. Your cat was so fortunate to be cared for...
There is another out there that needs your help. :)

I know what you mean, its like losing a member of the family. Its almost more than losing a pet

I know, we will welcome a new addition to the family in due time. Our puppy was very sad, still is. She grew to love the cat and now she misses her

[kelstar]

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You've captured some beautiful moments and memories in your photos of her.

[sugarzebra]

Very sorry to hear about Calicokat....thanks for sharing her photos with us Jim. I'm certain each one brings many many fond memories.

[Freddy Flash]

Even when you know they're getting old, even when you feel the time is coming it still wrenches the heart. I'm sorry to hear about it but she'll certainly live on. Thank you for capturing the moment while you could

[NotEnoughWaves]

I'm sorry to hear about your kitty. She's beautiful and looks like she was tons of fun and entertainment.

[Lightstream]

Jim, so sorry to hear of the passing of your cat. I was quite shocked to see this thread.

Treasure the photos. Equipment, especially premium equipment comes at a very heavy price, but all it takes are a few priceless photos to make it all worthwhile.

A wise photog once said to me, buy the best damn equipment you can, and use it the best way that you can. For in many things in life you only get ONE shot - you may as well make it the very best that you can.

[Franko515]

Sorry for your loss :(

[JuZ]

Aww it's awful when you loose a faithful little mate :(

[asolie]

I'm sorry about your cat. I'm sure you'll really treasure those photos. She's a beautiful cat.

[calicokat]

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You've captured some beautiful moments and memories in your photos of her.

Thank you, her memory does live on through the photos, she will always be remembered around here too, her name is my screen name :)

I felt the exact same thing, I did not want to think of this day, I tried to convince myself it would never happen, but this is God's way

[calicokat]

She was a vert fesity and loving kitty, we already miss her dearly

Sorry for your loss :(

Thank you, this all helps alot, POTN is more than a forum, it feels like friends and family :)

Aww it's awful when you loose a faithful little mate :(

She was my mate for so very long, through High School, College and now My Marriage to my awesome wife who has been an angel through the entire ordeal

I'm sorry about your cat. I'm sure you'll really treasure those photos. She's a beautiful cat.

Thank you Asolie, I really appreciate it

[condyk]

Shame ... I have two cats, brother and sister, since they were 6 weeks old and we have been buddies since the very first day. Cats are Zen Masters and can teach us much and so their influence lives not just through photo's but through how we ourselves are ... in my experience anyway. Few people can love with the non-attachment of a Cat and few can walk a narrow ledge 20ft high without an apparent care ... but we can at least aspire to those things in life.

Thank you for the kind words. I agree that cats are special, I love the line from Meet the Parents by Robert De Niro, I am not exactly sure off the top of my head, but does anyone know how it goes

[NukeGM]

Very sad to loose a pet. I have been though it and know how you feel.

[Livinthalife]

Like losing a close relative, they need to increase the lifespan of family pets. nobosy likes to lose a oved one so soon.

Great shots for the occasion too. Too cute.

[Tomi Hawk]

Aww shoot .. sorry to hear ..

My lil girl Shasta .. (CFA Tonkanese Seal Point) just turned 14 .. and she really does still believe that
she's a kitten .. I was editing last nite, and caught her on her chair, yes she has her own computer chair lol.
She was playing with her tail as she was grabbin it and stuff, and I just shook my head ..

Glad you spent quality time with CalicoKat .. My Shasta is like a child to me ..

[Miniflash]

AWWWW so sorry for your loss ...so glad for the love you shared and that special bond you can only get from a CAT~

[blonde]

sorry to hear that Jim, i am not a cat person but i know how hard it is to lose a pet sincei lost my dog that has been with me for 14 years. however, you are looking at it in the right way: she had a great life with a loving family and the memories that she has given you will live on forever.

[ieatstars]

Oh wow.. :( She was an absolute beauty :) Looked like a real sweetheart. I'm so sorry for your loss!

[puddlepirate44]

Awww, man, I'm really sorry to hear this news. Great memories, but still. I'm sorry.

[Deltadarlin]

Sorry about your Calicokat. I have an older cat now (she's 15) and her health isn't what it should be, but she's still got awhile to stay with us longer, plus all the rest of my animals still play with her. I did have a cat, Mr. Bilbo Baggins, that reached the ripe old age of 21.

[Permagrin]

Jim, I'm very sorry to hear about your Cat!!! :(

[Dale Siscoe]

Calico, Both my wife and I send our condolences and a prayer that your loss will be more bearable as time goes by, it is an awesome thing to have a relationship with an animal at the level that you and your kittie did, and I am sure that sometime soon some little curtain climer is gonna steal your hearts again, I am feeling your loss as we have lost before too! Take care my friend. Dale and Deborah.

[calicokat]

Thank you, much appreciated, I think we have all been there, for as much love as they give, its tough saying goodbye

Its a shame they do not live longer, but the time we had will last a lifetime

[calicokat]

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to my POTN family, you have all said some great things and it really does help, thank you all

[viewing-the-invisible]

Thank you, she will always live on through photos and my heart

[Ize]

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful cat. At the end of this month, it will be two years since our cat passed away. She was 19 years old and we had her since she was a kitten. We all miss her, but can enjoy many thoughts of her funny antics and heartwarming affection. Sometimes I still think I see her out of the corner of my eye, waiting for a scrap of some yummy treat being prepared in the kitchen or curled up asleep on the sofa.

Your cat will always be there in your thoughts. I feel very fortunate to have had the years I did with mine. Yes, we have other animals, cats included. But each one is their own individual and is missed when they are not with us anymore. My heart goes out to you, but you have the happy memories and lots of photos that will eventually make you feel better.

[Woolburr]

Sorry to hear you lost your friend...17 years is a long time...

[CyberDyneSystems]

So sorry Jim,
Loosing a close pet is a heart breaker for sure :(

[cgratti]

Think about all the good years she gave you. Sorry for your loss. Please adopt another one.

[MDoc]

so sorry to hear. I have a cat thats 14 now and is really starting to show her age.

Enjoy the time you have together, they are so precious

[JavaNoire]

I am so sorry you lost her, but so glad you had her those many years. Even among greatly loved pets, some are extraordinarily special. Your precious Calicokat seems to be one of those priceless treasures of the heart.

[mebailey]

Sorry about your loss. Iam sure it was very hard since she had been with you so long.

[AeroSmith]

Sorry to hear about your loss. I think it's toughest to loose a pet you've had since childhood.

[frailwit]

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. She was beautiful.
I'm not sure if you've ever saw this, but it's very comforting...

[silvex]

Damn! I thought it was you man! scared me for a second!!! Nevetheless Well sorry about ypur cat. Pets are great companions and with time. They just become a "person" in your life. We have a persian cat that had his first fight yesterday. So he is permanently grounded inside the house...

[MDJAK]

Jim, I rarely, if ever, get to this part of the forum. I noticed the link in your signature. I'm real sorry, man. I'm allergic to cats as is my wife, so have never owned one. I've got three dogs though and a couple of birds and know what it is to lose a pet. I've always liked looking at your avatar. Looks to have been a definite unique animal.

[Skrim17]

hugs to you Jim, it is so painful to lose a dear friend. I hope you enjoy your beautiful photos and all of the wonderful memories they invoke.

So sorry to hear that. It's never easy, is it, no matter how many times it happens?

I know what you mean, I have had two cats my entire life. Panda was my first for 14 years, then Calicokat

[Belmondo]

17 years is a wonderfully long life. I'm sorry to hear about it, but it sounds like you have a good outlook.

[Billginthekeys]

I'm really sorry about that Jim. I know how you feel. my cat died about this time last year, it really hurts for a while. 17 years is a long time! mine was 10, and perfectly healthy, they never figured out why she got so sick so fast.

[canonloader]

Sorry to hear about your friend. Every time I saw your avatar, I always had to look twice to see it wasn't a person with makeup on. She was a distinctive cat for sure.

[sam walker]

sorry to learn of your loss I love my Spanky. i don't want that day to come.

[Titus213]

Sorry to hear of your loss. Losing a pet can be difficult, especially after 17 years. But she had a good long life and was taken care of by people who cared about her. And you have plenty of photos to remember her by. She was one interesting looking cat.

[Airedale1]

Very sorry to hear about your loss.

[cbock]

wow. very sorry for your loss. 17 years is a great run!

Sorry about the loss of your furry friend, but you have some lovely shots to keep the memories alive.

[Bill Boehme]

My deepest condolences. The fact that she lived 17 years makes it even more difficult to say goodbye because she has been part of your life for so long. Calicokat was indeed blessed to have such a loving owner. Life is so fragile -- treasure every moment.

You gave her a fine life.

[roqdawg]

Just saw this today....very sorry for your loss. My Tigger is getting up in age so I really understand how you must feel.
Every time I see one of your posts with Clalicokat in the avitar, I for some reason think of Groucho Marx due to her little mustache like face!

Thank you, every bit helps

That is so sad.... :( I once had a cat that lived for 23 years... I thought I was ready for her to be gone, but when she finally left us, I missed her. They are so sweet when they climb up onto the bed in the middle of the night and put their little nose right in your face and start purring....

I'm sure you kitty will be missed and you'll have sweet memories of her... On the flip side though... a new kitten would be lots of fun to play with. :)

[Vortex99]

the loss of a pet effects a bigger part of our lives then we first know. I looked around for "Misha" for months after she died. I still miss getting met at the door after work, even though my Boxer does this, somehow it's not quite the same...

I'm sorry for your loss.

[BigAl-SA]

Very sorry to hear of your loss. It's always sad when a companion, who has been with us for a long time, has to leave.

For now she will live on in your user name and your avatar...

[kellymac]

I too am sorry to hear of your loss. My cats are everything to me, and I know that in her heart, Calicokat knows exactly how much you love her, and always will.

Where she is now, is cat-heaven; a place of forever having a warm spot to lay including warm sunlight to roll in, whatever food their little hearts desire and a plethora of furniture that it's okay to put ones claws into.

It hurts when they have used all nine lives and there is none left.

But rest assured my friend, that Calicokat is probably taking some really nice photos right now, because I am sure everyone uses Canon in Kitty heaven. (and other heavens, no time to list them all).

Kind regards,

Canon’s roots lie in Kwanon

Kwanon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, was chosen as the
name for the first Japanese 35mm focal plane shutter camera.
Here is the story of how the Kwanon came to be developed
and how it got its name.

Really sorry to hear of your loss mate.
We just recently lost our 17 year old cat too, such a difficult time to go through.

Sorry for your loss. I have two senior cats right now (14 and 19), and I know I'll miss them terribly some day. Take comfort in knowing you gave her a loving home and that someday your home may welcome another.

sorry to hear about your loss one of my four is 14 this year, im hoping he is with us a little while longer because he is finally becoming an effectionate cat and i wld miss the bugger, even typing this kills me :(

wow her markings are so different, out of interest was she sick? i know mine has had his issues over the years and certainly didnt start life with me in the best circumstances (i found him after being hit by a car and stopped to move him thinking he was already dead so cars wouldnt run over him, 14yrs later and he is sitting in front of me as i type this)

Thank you for the kind words, they are very much appreciated. She died suddenly, the only signs were she had gotten thinner over the past year, but the morning of her passing, she was fine. I guess it can come quickly at her age.

:( hmm time to take mine to the vet for his check-up.

the comforting thing is you where in to photography so if you are like me you have thousands and thousands of photos of her.
