EJ believes that when Tommy used to stare into nothing, he was mulling over his sons.
At times he mulled till his ears curled up. Perhaps he missed them both, 4Head and last-born handicapped Tortie.
4Head had heart problems resulting in fluid in his lungs; Tortie had severe kidney problems; Tommy had all of these.
Both Tommy and Tortie sat alike and slept in the same style; with 4Head, they relaxed in the same manner with that special air.
In the earlier years, these three always slept together either head to head or head to butt.
Now they probably are doing the same over at the Rainbow Bridge...and EJ misses these 'three stooges' so.
EJ, if I hadn't seen your photos, I wouldn't have believed such traits could be inherited.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely wonderful. I'm sure they're sleeping head-to-head right now.

Oh what fun photos; especially the ones with them laying head to tail across the shelf; how fun!
ReplyDeletethanks for the smiles!
What sweet photos! It's always so hard for the peeps to lose their furry friends, that they sometimes forget that it's really hard on us too. When my older brother, Tobey, left I used to sit in the cat tree in the same spot (where he used to sit) for weeks. My Mom wonders if maybe I did it because that was the part of the cat tree that still had his scent...
ReplyDeleteWe wish Tommy nothing but happy memories of his family!!

We also miss those kitties who went before. these pics help though, right?
ReplyDeleteThose are truly amazing memories! I would have never believed the sleeping in a row either...a triumvirate of terror when they were awake, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Tommy is thinking how lucky he is to live in such a caring home.
ReplyDeleteAwwww Tommy, Tortie and 4Head!! Beautiful and awesome threesome!! Me and Charlie just know the Rainbow Bridge is brighter for their presence. Take care

I'd miss those handsome devils as well. And their sleeping pattern is pretty darn cute.
ReplyDeleteWe've never seen another picture of cats sleeping nose to tail in a row like that - we are sure they must have been unique.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

I hope you do forgive her

We are so sorry EJ. It's hard losing those yoo love. Smoochies.
ReplyDeleteI love how cats like to ledge sleep
ReplyDeleteThose are good memories and pictures help too, right? When my cat Moshu died in an accident, our other cat looked for her almost every day for a month. She mkept miawing under the bed, hoping Moshu will come out and play. Actually I miss them all, and still feel a pang when I think of them!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely tribute to those three guys. Brought a tear to Mom's eye. It is amazing that they all had the same problems. We know what you mean by missing them. Mom has tons that she really misses. Great post.
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you for sharing all those memories with us, EJ. We are sorry you are missing the ones who came before. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThey really were similar and oh so cute! Thanks for sharing your memories.

The sons did take after Tommy! Love the shots of them sleeping together. Thanks for coming to Chica's party. You made it special.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet memories and lovely photos !!!
ReplyDeleteI just love the top one in the collage :)
EJ, you are right! I always find Sumo grumbling like that for weeks now. Sumo is probably missing the rest of his brood. Sweepy would notify me urgently so I got to "talking" with Sumo recently.
ReplyDeleteCats and dogs and probably other animals too inherit traits and moods. I should know. I had cats and dogs and chickens and turkeys since pre-school! And I talk to all of them and they "communicate" back.
Oh, I know the feeling of missing them. Sigh.
