Soupy - My Best Friend

[Photo-John]

My best friend left today. He had a good life, I think. I loved him and he loved me. We had 14 great years together. He will never be replaced.

I'm so sorry. It's so hard when they go. It's always too soon.

Sorry to hear that John. I lost a dog last year, and had a close call with another a few weeks ago so I know what you're going through. R.I.P. Soupy.

Wow, sorry to hear John. Fourteen years is a long time - I have a 14 year old diabetic dog...

Sorry to hear that PJ.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that John.
Even when it's expected, it's no easier to bear.

I loved him and he loved me. We had 14 great years together

Apart from more time together, you can't wish for much more than that.

Beautiful Kitty. I'm sure he knew how much you loved him and how lucky you both were to have each other for 14 years. Life seems so unfair when it comes to the short life spans of our best friends. Truly sorry for your loss

Your thread was the first thing I saw this evening - and my heart sank......your meaningful and heartfelt words brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry, John. I know how much my Molly and Jeremy mean to me and I don't know what I'd do if I lost one of them.

You're right, nothing can take the place Soupy has in your heart, but I hope you will get another little friend.....it won't fill Soupy's place in your heart, but will find another spot. When you're ready.

That photo is awesome.......

I will pray for you.

Ah, it's only fitting that a cool cat was the companion for another cool cat. I'm sure he will be missed...

Sorry to hear it John.

I'm sure he had a wonderful life.

Deepest condolences, long term friends like this are the hardest to say goodbye to.

My thoughts are with you, John.
I lost my 19-yr-old cat last August and I still find myself thinking he's going to walk into the room, meowing for attention or food or whatever...
We can never truly replace friends like these, who offer us unconditional love, but someday another special cat will find you.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Soupy. The gallery is a very nice tribute to Soupy hope everyone takes a few minutes to go through it.

There are a few of us men who develop a love for a cat. I've had a few and can empathize with your loss.
My condolences.

Sorry to hear this, Photo-John.

Sorry to hear that P-J.

That is so sad, Photo-John. Fortunately you have some wonderful photos of Soupy to keep the memories strong.

Thanks guys for looking and being nice. It was a tough week and Friday was a very sad day for me. I've now had two days without Soupy to feed, not cat under my feet while I'm cooking, and no sick kitty to worry about. It's a very different world.

Here's a link to a photo my friend Jenni took yesterday. It's my last Soupy scratch. Funny how these things become so important. This photo may be the best tribute I have to my best friend.

I feel for you John. Pets are wonderful but so tough to see them go.

[Asylum Steve]

It's my last Soupy scratch. Funny how these things become so important...

Yeah, it is funny. Brings back memories for me. I still have a handful of scars on my fingers from deep scratches from my "best friend".

They were all from wounds suffered while we were playing, and he took it a little too serious...

Sorry to hear about Soupy John!
Soupy was a fine kitty, I had a few opportunities to meet him over the past few years.
Thanks for sharing this with us John, I hope you are doing well.
