We are devastated to report that Mirsku, our mightiest of mancats, was helped to the Bridge on Tuesday. We knew all was not well for little a while as he had been a bit snotty and drooly, and had only been licking at his food so Äiti had been making him tuna smoothies after he had een given some medicines. He visited ystävämme eläinlääkäri who discovered extensive tumours in his throat and tongue so Äiti made the hardest decision as it was clear that nothing could be done to make him more comfortable and prevent future pain. Mirsku, we think, was only about 15 years old and was an adult rescue kitty when he joined us. One of the best memories is when he arrived: he hid UTB for a good long while - Äiti went to check on him and found him upside own kicking a kissanminttu apple. This summed him up, and he never ceased to show his belly and his bits to the world.
As you can imagine there is a very big hole now in the Felocracy. A hulking great tabby-shaped hole. We will look for him in the dancing lights of the revontulet.
We are going to have a blogcation for a little while as we get used to the new situation. Thank you for your patience.
The blogosphere will never be the same. He was a mighty mancat and will be missed by many.
ReplyDeletePurrs of comfort to Aiti and the horde.
XOXOXO
We are so sorry. Purrs and hugs.

Darn it, I liked Mirsku! PIP, or Purr in Peace, pretty floofy boy!
ReplyDeleteMighty Mirsku leaves behind a gaping hole in human and feline hearts, but an equally mighty legacy of SISU and fierce hunting skills. And through a tear or two (or 20) we still laughed at his shameless display of norty manbits. Godspeed, Mirsku. We'll all meet up on the Other Side. XOXOXOXO Spitty and the Human
ReplyDeleteSending comforting purrs to you all and hugs to Aiti.

We send our purrs and prayers of support at this sad time. We know Mirsku is now with his family over the Bridge. Watch over us all dear friend until we meet again,
ReplyDeleteAnd God asked the feline spirit
ReplyDeleteAre you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.
Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.
But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.
Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.
We are so sorry to hear about your dear Mirsku. We know it's so difficult and we send love and hugs your way.
ReplyDeleteI am deeply sorry about your handsome boy. It's a hard thing for a family to have to go through. Katie and I send love.
ReplyDeleteOh no! We have been away for a couple of days and I just saw this sad news. Mirsku was always a favourite of mine and now I shed some tears for him and for how much I will miss seeing him. Hugs for you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteYou are now undertaking the long journey through grief. While others may share that grief we all walk it alone. There are no right or wrong paths, no proper way to carry oneself on the trek, no set amount of time to complete it. Some steps will come easier than others. There will be rogue waves of grief that you won’t see coming, and knock you back days. But you will come through it. If you get lost let us know. We have been through it before and we might be able to help you find the way out.
ReplyDeleteOh noes. I am so very sorry abouts your loss. What a handsome ManCat Mirsku was. I am sendin' lots of slobbery kisses and AireZens your way. {{{hugs}}}
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
