RIP my sweet Ricky 2002-2015

Postby Josette » Fri Nov 06, 2015 11:07 am

I had to let go of my dear sweet Ricky cat for advanced health issues. I rescued him as a small kitten left at dumpster behind a diner. He was near starving and quite ill but was nursed back to become a lovely house cat. He had the loudest purr and would sit right next to me watching TV. I would have to turn the volume up because he could be so loud. Rest easy now sweet boy.

Oh I'm so sorry about Ricky. His purr sounds wonderful. What color was Ricky?

Thank you. I really miss him - especially when you have a daily routine together. Sweet Ricky was a long hair gray tiger with white bib and paws. I'm trying to figure out how to post some older pics from the Photo Bucket website with this Chromebook.

I'm so sorry Josette. There is nothing as precious as the comfort of a beloved kitty. Would love to see pics of him. RIP RIcky.

What a beautiful boy. Looks like some norwegian forrest cat in there.

I'm so sorry for your loss and it makes me go hug mine again.

Josette, I'm so sorry.

We were adopted by a darker version of your Ricky; she also was a purr machine. If she was breathing, she was purring loudly.

I lost my dear Chippy cat in 2013. He and Ricky were best buddies and would groom each other and sleep together. This is who Ricky is looking at in the bottom photo. I think Ricky missed Chippy and seemed to slow fade the past 2 years. I hope they are together again grooming each other. :cry:
