It was wonderful to be able to follow Spotacus' adventures through the years with his loving family. What a lucky cat he was indeed - From the time he walked into your home, he had the very best of care and a great life that you were so generous in sharing with us all. I will certainly miss him too and I am sure that everyone who has come to know him will remember this special kitty with great affection and tears for his passing. What a gift he was, and I like to think that he has rejoined your Dad and is purring at his feet, remembering his days in the sunshine with you and all the good food and travel and treats and affection you gave him for his time here. God Speed and farewell, Spotacus, you were a great cat among cats.

Spotacus the Mighty is waiting for you at the Bridge along with Alexander and the rest. We too are shedding tears as we feel we know him oh so well through your writings.
In grief and tears we are with you; thank you for adopting more.

I ordered his stone, same kind as Alex'. One day I'll order stones for the other three kitties buried there. Our little cat cemetery is looking like a nice place, now that we've mowed around it and trimmed the lower branches of the live oak there. I'm thinking a nice bench is in order, so it can be a place of meditation and wildlife observation. Maybe. One day.
Tall Friend needs our help to unload. WLToo went over; I waited for new kitchen light fixtures to be delivered. They just arrived, so I'm off to help Tall Friend. Good. The atmosphere in the house is just too quiet and empty feeling. I wanted to hold off a few days before searching for new kitties, but since I'll be driving past the local shelter, think I'll pop in and see if I can meet some kitties before filling out adoption paperwork.
Later, y'all.

I haven't posted on RV.Net in a very long time.
But I remember reading Spotacus's story from the very beginning.
Pets give us thousands of good days, and one really bad day. Prayers for you on your really bad day.

The house feels so much better. The shelter had a pair of six-month-old brothers they wanted to keep together. So we did.

The black one was very affectionate at the shelter; the ginger is very shy. At the moment, the black one is "hiding" in a corner; the ginger is hiding in a carrier. They'll be fine...
The new shelter manager used to work as a vet tech at our vet, so when I walked in, she knew immediately that Spotacus was gone and I was there to adopt. We did not have to go through the full adoption nut roll, because she knew how we care for our cats. We also got 50% off the adoption fee by taking the bonded pair. Good deal all the way around.
The family is coming up with names. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/rolleyes.gif "rolleyes")
Some examples:
Legolas and Strider (Lord of the Rings)
Vladimir and Estragon (Waiting for Godot)
Kirk and Spock (Star Trek)
Scotty and McCoy (Star Trek)
Hash and Tag (no. just no.)
Tyrian and Tywin (Game of Thrones)
Jamie and Ian (Outlander)
Barnaby and Troy (Midsomer Murders)
Wurst and Fest (local celebration, but no)
Things will get silly before we find the right names.

I'm so glad you rescued them. Spotacus the Mighty would be too.
What about:
Inigo (Montoya) and Fezzik (Princess Bride)
Butter (the ginger) and Jam (he's so affectionate he sticks to you)
Cisco (Kid) and Pancho
Picard and Riker
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza (if one was a girl she could be Dulcinea)
Franken and Stein
Fred (Astaire) and Gene (Kelly)
(Lone) Ranger and Tonto
My fave would be Walt (Longmire) and Henry (Standing Bear) - because they're brothers
Being in Texas my ideas are running to Westerns. If one had been a girl I would have gone with Marshall Dillon and Miss Kitty![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/cool.gif "cool") I can see you "face palming" and saying "stop it - just STOP. IT!
