In Memory Of Peter My Pet Cat

My cat Peter was one of Lizzie’s three kittens. He is a gorgeous black-and-white long-haired cat, and he is part Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and domestic short hair. His Fathers name was Onyx, and he was a pure black cat. Onyx lived to be 15 years old.

Peter was born in an outdoor cat building that had a heated water bowl and heated cat beds. He would disappear when I opened the cat building door, still timid. He does watch me when I clean out the litter boxes. He will come out for certain canned cat foods and cat treats.

I adopted a cat named Addi from Wisconsin. She is part Silver Tabby. Peter found Addi irresistible, and they had five kittens together. They had adopted Mr. Gray, Sherlock, Hilford, Leo, and Cleo, and they lived the good life in their new home.

Peter helped Addi care for her kittens. He would play with them, and they would snuggle up with him. Two of my neutered Toms, Russ and Lorenzo, would babysit the kittens. Addi would not let the female cats in the house near her kittens.

Peter and Addi are still very close. Peter and Addi are both fixed; I do not want more kittens. I have 11 cats in the other house and three in my home. Mr. Gray is friendly, and Hilford and Sherlock take after their Father, Peter, as they are shy and reserved.

Peter will watch me from on top of his cat tree to see when I might be coming over with cat treats or canned food for him and his family. Sometimes I will see Peter come out of a large heated cat bed, followed by Hilford, Sherlock, Mr. Gray, and Addi or Nicole, his sister. Since she is Peter’s sister, she is accepted as part of their cat family. Conrad Peters’s brother is one of my house cats.

 

Peter is gorgeous and has an excellent family that deeply loves and cares for each other. Purrs to you and yours.

It is with profound sorrow that I had ot put  Peter to sleep today. He had developed a horrible case of diarrhea from an underlying serious illness. He was an excellent Father cat, and he did not live that much longer after I had to put Addi to sleep. He never got over the loss of Addi, the Mother of his kittens. Peter was a beautiful cat that always enjoyed tower patrol. He liked to play with catnip cat toys. He had a close bond with his family for twelve years. It is tough to lose a Dear pet cat. he lives on through his children and in my memories. I am sure he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, and he is with his parents, aunt, brother, and sister.
