In Memory Of My Cat Russ

I am writing this post with a heavy heart while crying at the loss of my Dear cat feline friend Russ. Russ passed away between 10 am and 1 pm on March 24th, 2020. Russ looked fine when I fed and watered my cats in the morning. I walked into the house next door this afternoon and cleaned the litter boxes, and when I walked into the living room, I found Russ dead on the floor. I started sobbing uncontrollably when I found Russ on the floor. I tried to revive him because he was still warm to the touch, even though I knew he was already dead.

Russ was born on May 28th, 2012. He was given to me by church friends. Russ was a lovely and gorgeous cream-colored kitten. He had an excellent disposition and always liked being held and patted on the head. He wanted everyone that came to visit him.

I would let him outdoors in the warmer months, and he loved to eat grass and roll around on the sidewalk outdoors. He got along fine with all of my other cat’s next door. Russ and Nicole became best friends, sleeping side by side on an oversized plush bed on a table. Russ was an excellent babysitter when Addi had her kittens. Russ would let the kittens play with his tale. Russ would lick the kittens very gently, and I am sure they thought of him as Uncle Russ.

Russ would always greet me at the door in the morning. He liked playing with cat toys, mice, cat toys, and singing birds. He loved to rest on the high perch of a cat tree and look out the window at the birds and any other animal passing by.

Russ licked my hand very gently and lovingly yesterday. He was such a kind and remarkably loving cat. I had interned to have Russ in my house one day, but that will never happen now. Russ will always hold a sweet and warm spot in my heart and soul. March seems to be when people or pets I love dearly die.

My only solace is that Russ is in heaven, as God has called such a sweet and loving cat home. God welcomed Russ home with outstretched arms. Russ is playing with my other feline friends I have lost over the years. I am sure my parents in heaven know I lost my dear Russ; he is also with them. I buried him this afternoon and put a cat tombstone on his grave. God will take care of you now, Russ, into eternity. I am grateful to God for letting me have such a kind and loving Russ in my life for as long as he did. God knew I needed Russ in my life, and now God needed Russ in heaven.

Isaiah 41: 10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, For I am your God. I will strengthen and help you and uphold you with my righteous right hand.
