Goodbye, Freckles
Sometimes in life, things happen. Sad things. Let it be known that I am not here to be depressing. Far from it, I want this Web-comic, blog, and entire experience to be a celebration, even if times are rough. Freckles, my first cat and best friend for fifteen years passed on yesterday. Here’s a picture of her from last year when I was experimenting with FilteredFuzz (Then called Two For the Show) in a comic strip format. I think she was nearly blind by that time, but she looked like she enjoyed it! If there’s one thing I could ask you to take away from this blog post, it would be this:
Life is short. But that’s no reason it can’t be great.
I was blessed to have Freckles for so many wonderful years. And I believe that yesterday, an angel just recieved the best cat ever.

Aww, I’m sorry to hear about you kitty, but I’m glad you got to enjoy her for a good fifteen years. Pets are well worth treasuring in your heart.

I so understand. What a lucky kitty Freckles was to have such a fun and loving friend as you. I am glad you had that wonderful blessing in your life for 15 years.

Aww… I’m so sorry. She was such a pretty too. (i love calicos) still I’m glad you had 15 good years. I’m sure the angel will treasure Freckles as much as you did.

I feel your pain Meghan. I felt the same way when I lost Lucky. But, like everyone else has said, she had a wonderful 15 years because she had a wonderful person like you to be with her every step of the way.

Thanks, everyone, for your condolences and kind words. I think Freckles lived a good, happy life. And that’s worth more to me than being depressed about her passing.

What a beautiful kitten. You were both lucky to have one another.
I know how it can feel, I recently lost my best fuzzy friend. He wasn’t mine, but we were close..
Cats are such characters, you always feel blessed to have met them.
