Here he is.....more of "The Mister"....Okay. See, this is how I try to get through loss....I look at pictures and video's. It makes me feel better because it makes, in this case, dear Sweetie more "present" for me, even though I know he is gone.
Missing him is just too hard to bear, so, this helps me to bear his not being here a little bit better.....
I'm so glad I took so many pictures and video's.....
So.....here is a video of Sweetie playing with a toy. I know, every cat does this...But...BUT...this was my dear sweetheart who was doing it...My dear "Sweetie"......So.....Enjoy! It might make you smile or even laugh...Just like I did, when seeing this again!
And, below, here is another adorable little Video....We had a "visitor"; a funny little monkey named Rabies.....I LOVE the concentration in this one.....I laughed out loud upon seeing it once again......! Sweetie was so so Adorable!

I love the way in the first one he so nearly manages to fall off the bed or whatever he was on - but magically doesn't. Obviously loved living dangerously.
On the second one with Rabies I was so concentrating on his very expressive tail I missed the pounce.
He really was such a character.- Monday, January 9, 2012 at 3:11:00 AM PST

Those videos are adorable Naomi. Cats, besides being such wonderful companions, are so darn amusing.
I am so glad you have these so you can visit with your friend whenever the pain is too acute.
I know you miss him so terribly but am relieved that you can relive happy times and smile at that handsome fellow any time you wish.- Monday, January 9, 2012 at 3:48:00 AM PST

That video is funny. I love Sweetie's slowly twitching tail. It looks like a lion's tail. You're fortunate that you took so many videos and pictures. I have some pictures of my dog, Max, but no videos. I would love to see some of his antics on film again, to remember how he looked and moved. Sending you hugs.

Ha ha, Sweetie was adorable! I loved the way he nearly fell off the table.
I do remember Rabies, when he came to visit. Looks like a bit of competition!
How lovely that you have the photos and vides as a lovely reminder of your beautiful Sweetie.- Monday, January 9, 2012 at 6:57:00 AM PST

I totally understand Naomi, he was such a dear cat. The videos are wonderful - he was such a playful kitty. I only a couple of videos of Bob but I hold them close to me now. I am so glad I have them so I understand what a comfort these are for you. Take care x

Be thankful for the memories, video, photos, and most of all your time together. Those of us who've experienced close animal friends know what that means.

These videos are so sweet, just like your Sweetie – they show how playful he was. I laughed when he jumped on Rabies – at first he looked like he was not interested then he jumped very fast. So nice to have them to see your sweet pal again – what a good idea you had to take them. I’ll take some of my cats too – I had not thought about it. Cats have so much character and your Sweetie certainly had plenty of it.

After reading your post I immediately thought of a verse that I found several years ago:
Within the sweet mystery of life, we met. Lucky are we.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. My heart is with you.

WHY do I keep thinking of Sweetie as a SHE! aaaargh Like Paul Newman, just too dang pretty to be a male! My sexism is showing! He is the most beautifully handsome cat I have ever seen, truly. I can't imagine what a loss you feel. Glad you have pics and flix!

I think of Sweetie as a "she," too.
Must have been his feminine side coming through cyber-space.
I have found looking at photos and films healing. Bringing back sweet memories....- Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 8:04:00 AM PST

So lovely and precious memories of Sweetie... Love the videos and I remember well the day when dear Sweetie meet Rabies. So cute, so adorable!
I feel the same, Naomi. Looking pictures and videos of Flora makes her more "present" to me too. But, however, seeing her photos and videos are too painful, because I see that Flora is no more with me...
Sending to you many healing hugs and much love.- Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 4:40:00 AM PST

Ah, dear Sweetie. I do recall the Rabies one! I love watching cats play, they are so entertaining. It's great to have so many pictures and videos. I think it's good therapy too! I've been thinkng of you often during this time. xxoxx

Hi Naomi,
I have only just caught up with your last couple of posts and learned of your sad loss.
'Sweetie' sounds like he was so much more than a pet, he was so obviously a true companion and friend and you must miss him terribly.
The many photos and film you have of him, will I am sure, be a comfort to you over the coming days and weeks and sharing them here, with all your many friends, will be a great source of joy and happy memories.
Take Care.

My husband Jimmy and I were reading about your precious Sweetie and we laughed when he attacked Rabies and ran to the other end of the couch. We adore cats and are very sorry for your loss.
Our Princess had surgery in September for a masses on her kidneys but she escaped the big C, but we found out that she has bad kidneys, so every other day my husband and I do an IV on our Princess. This aides her kidneys so that they don't have to work as hard and it keeps her alive. She doesn't even act sick anymore, but without the fluids she wouldn't last very long.
Again, so sorry for the loss of your dear friend and companion Sweetie. He was a very beautiful cat.- Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 6:40:00 PM PST

Oh, Naomi, these videos are adorable. I can see how they would comfort you. I have but one of Stimpy, who left six years ago, and I cherish it. You remind me that I must capture Gypsy on video, too. Thank you for sharing your sweet Sweetie with us. He's so dear, so lovely.
