Ferocious Monster, Octoberish 1994 – January 13, 2013
Morgan was my longest constant companion, accompanying me from North Carolina to New Mexico to Pennsylvania. He outlasted Ghost and Grendel: there before either, and after both. He was with me longer than Nick, even.
But eventually the body wears out, the medicine stops working so well, it’s cruel to try to make the cat stay longer. The vet thought they could hydrate him, give him different meds, get me a month or so with my cat, or at least a few days so I could see him again after my trip.
They were wrong.
Nick took Morgan his beloved gingersnaps and held him.
I’ll head home Tuesday, to an emptier house.

I’m so sorry you weren’t there, I know you are, too. And for your loss.
I’m so sorry to hear about Morgan’s passing, but glad to hear Nick could be there – with ginger snaps to boot. Absolutely so hard to say goodbye to these critters we’ve loved for such a long time. I will hoist a few in his honor.
Such a dear, special kitty. I’m so sorry you didn’t get the in-person farewell. *hugs*
Oh nooo.
Hugs.
Im so sorry, particularly that it happened while you were away.
Hugs and much sympathy.
So sorry for your loss! It’s always terrible to lose a family member. Hugs!
My sympathy on your loss. Morgan the Ferocious Monster looks a great deal like my Shadow, the Fearsome Beast. I know how much you are missing him.
I’m so sorry to hear that…
Grandma’s sad.
