Brendan

You know how you sometimes feel a great affinity to someone else’s pet?  I felt that way about Brendan, the grand old man of Caturday.  Brendan just grabbed my heart the first time I read about him a couple of years ago, because he seemed so gruff and wise and curmudgeonly and sweet.  His May-December affection for a new kitten, Ramona, just clinched my long-distance love for him.  I knew Brendan had been ill with kidney problems recently, but he always seemed to recover quickly, and I hoped he’d have many more years to add to the 16 he’d already lived.  When the Caturday blog was silent the entire month of August I worried, however, and I was so sad to visit the site today and see that Brendan had indeed recently passed away.  I know I’ll miss all the wonderful photos of him cuddling up with Miss Ramona, so I can’t even imagine the loss his family feels.

If you’d like to go by and give your condolences, please pop over to Caturday.  And if you’d like to make a donation in Brendan’s memory, I’d suggest the Conway Area Humane Society.

  1. We felt the same way. We was worried bout how Ramona (and Zueleme) would take Brenden’s passing. At least it was peaceful. Our purrs are wif them.

  3. Thanks for writing about Brendan. I will start posting with more stories about him soon. And I have some photos I haven’t posted. Ramona and Harper are doing fine and I believe that Brendan told them he would be leaving and they would have to look after us. Miss R has been at my side every night and Harper has been sweet and cuddly.
