Yesterday’s plans got thrown out of the window with the passing of mums cat Ramsey.
It wasn’t a surprise. The last few days Ramsey hadn’t been eating. He’d drink water, find a comfy spot, and just lie there.
Ramsey was 16. So not a bad age for a cat.
Ramsey will always be remembered as the cat that took five or six years to work out he could open the door at the bottom of the stairs in Nan’s house!
Yes Ramsey was a house cat. When mum moved in to help look after Nan he came with her. With the two little monsters downstairs during the day with Nan, Ramseys world was upstairs. I don’t even think the little monsters realised there was a cat in the house!
It wasn’t until after Nan left us that Ramsey discovered he could open the door at the bottom of the stairs. When he did suddenly his world got so much larger.
Despite being bigger than the two little monsters added together they still managed to exert their dominance working together.
Ramsey is lying in rest next to Nico in the back garden.
This mornings coffee and doggy snuggles seem even more poignant and comforting.
There was gaming Friday and it was mostly light games this week. I’ll share which ones in the gaming round up.
But this was the first club night where those attending could get this years club poker chip.
This is the third year I’ve done the poker chip for members. I’m still trying to source a place that will produce a sew on patch at a reasonable price. I’ve tried a couple but not been happy with them yet.
If you know of a good place to get sewn sew on patch please leave a comment below.
I’m so sorry about Ramsey, and I appreciate you sharing about him discovering that the world was bigger than he knew for a while.
Thank you, it never gets easier losing a loved companion (I hate calling them pets). They all leave such big holes in our lives.
