Farewell my dear cat

avatar

I wasn't sure if I should make this post or not, but our tomcat was a loved member of our family for a long time, and after finding some nice photos, he should stay in my and our memories this way.

Ich war mir nicht sicher, ob ich diesen Beitrag machen soll oder nicht, aber unser Kater war für eine lange Zeit ein geliebtes Mitglied unserer Familie, und nachdem ich ein paar nette Fotos gefunden habe, soll er auf diese Art in meiner und unserer Erinnerung bleiben.

Farewell "Whiskey"
Maine Coon Tomcat

We got our beloved Maine Coon tomcat "Whiskey" at the age of two months in May 2010 and he only looked so shy on the first day.

Wir haben unseren lieben Maine Coon Kater "Whiskey" im Alter von zwei Monaten im Mai 2010 bekommen und nur am ersten Tag hat er so scheu geschaut.

Just a month later, the cat tree that we bought for him was too small and too weak, and shortly after these photos we had to buy a new, stable cat tree that even our children could climb on at the age of 15.

Schon einen Monat später war der Kratzbaum, den wir für ihn gekauft hatten, zu klein und auch zu schwach und kurze Zeit nach diesen Fotos mussten wir einen neuen stabilen Kratzbaum kaufen, auf den sogar unsere Kinder noch im Alter von 15 Jahren klettern konnten.

About two months ago I took this last photo on a warm January morning on our balcony, where we both enjoyed the beautiful hours of sunshine.

He did that a lot - looking and let his tongue hang out ;)

Vor etwa zwei Monaten habe ich dieses letzte Foto an einem warmen Jännermorgen auf unserem Balkon gemacht, wo wir beide die schönen Sonnenstunden genossen haben.

Das hat er oft gemacht - schauen und die Zunge raushängen lassen ;)

A short time later he unfortunately got sick and although we and our veterinarian thought that he is getting healthy again, Whiskey unfortunately did not wake up yesterday one day after his tenth birthday.

This morning there was no cat anymore that jumped on our bed after my alarm clock rang and sat on my chest with its 12 kilos meowing "get up, I am hungry!".

Kurze Zeit später ist er dann leider krank geworden und obwohl wir und unsere Tierärztin dachten, dass er über den Berg sei, ist Whiskey gestern einen Tag nach seinem zehnten Geburtstag leider nicht mehr aufgewacht.

Heute Morgen ist keine Katze mehr nachdem mein Wecker geläutet hat auf das Bett gehüpft und sich mit seinen 12 Kilo auf meine Brust gehockt und "aufstehen, ich habe Hunger!" miaut.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

by Christina Georgina Rossetti

I hope it was not wrong to make this posting that is so different from my usual photo posts, but I just felt like I had to do something that would remind of our cat for a long time.

He was a strict boss, but we loved him very much.

Ich hoffe, es war nicht falsch, dieses Posting zu machen, das so ganz anders ist als meine üblichen Fotoposts, aber ich hatte das Gefühl, ich muss etwas machen, das lange an unseren Kater erinnern wird.

Er war ein strenger Boss, aber wir haben ihn geliebt.

Information

The older photos were shot with my Olympus E-510 DSLR and the last one I have shot with my Canon EOS R and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS II USM lens. I added a blurry effect to the last photos, because our balcony is not that beautiful, at least not in winter ;)

I leave all EXIF and IPTC information stored in the pictures.


If you like my photos I would appreciate an upvote, nice comment or a resteem 😊 ... and maybe you would like to follow me, so that you never miss a post from me.

Thank you for visiting my blog,
have a nice evening,

Sorry to read about Whiskey. It is hard to lose a pet, a member of the family. The only good, if you can call it good was that he went peacefully in his sleep. You have some nice photo's and memories, and I know it will take time for the loss to sink in.

Oh sehr schön, Tiere sind schon etwas sehr spezielles. Besonders Katzen und Hunde können so viel Liebe geben. Letztes Jahr ist der Hund meiner Eltern gestorben und das hat mich auch sehr traurig gemacht weil er ein geliebtes Familienmitglied war und auch in schlechten Tagen viel Liebe gegeben hat.

Tiere sind vorurteilslos - denen ist es egal, wie du ausschaust oder welche Hautfarbe du hast. Egal ob Katze oder Hund - sie gehören zur Familie und wenn sie plötzlich fehlen, dann trauert man genau so wie bei einem Menschen.
Danke für deine netten Worte Florian 🙂

Es gibt viel Fröhliches und auch extrem lustige Sachen, an die wir uns immer wieder erinnern werden. Der Kater war zwar unser Boss 😉, aber auch ein guter Freund und geliebtes Familienmitglied.

Mit seinen großen Augen hat er so lieb schauen können oder gewisse Leute hat er damit nur anschauen brauchen, dass sie in einem Respektsabstand an ihm vorbeigegangen sind, denn er war schon ein ziemlich großes Kätzchen 😉

Vielen lieben Dank für deine netten Worte @ditsch, ich wünsche dir noch einen schönen Abend und ein wunderschönes Wochenende 🙂

He was a gorgeous boy. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how deeply we love our pets. They are part of our families. I know no other being can fill that Whiskey shaped hole in your life now – the only thing that can fill that hole is time and all the wonderful and annoying and silly and happy memories of him that you will cherish forever.

Good morning @momzillanc, thank you so much for these nice words.

You really understand how it is to lose someone. I say "someone" because he was part of us and that hole in our life is very big. It will take quite a while but it will never be completely filled up again.
Such photos and we also have some videos from when he was younger will always remember us.

What a lovely cat! You were so lucky to have this wonderful cat! Whisky was 12 kilos!!! He’s in a new body now, perhaps as a person you’ll meet in the future!

Yes, I do believe in something after life too - may it be reincarnation or moving to another world or dimension - there's something and I am sure to meet our beloved friend again :)
Yes, he had about 12 kilos, but that's quite normal for such a big male Maine Coon cat, and he was not fat, believe me ;)

Du wirst zwar sagen, dass das auch geplant ist, was dann ein Widerspruch zu den Fluchtwegen wäre, aber ich sage trotzdem, dass ich gar nicht von hier weg will.

Der Virus ist real und mein Land tut das Richtige. Die ganzen Informationen, die von den Menschen in den sozialen Medien verbreitet werden und über bereits aktive Ausgangssperren, Lebensmittelknappheit, Bankenschließungen und so weiter berichten, sind alle Blödsinn und gefährlich, aber das ist manchen Menschen egal.

Ob es nun eine große Verschwörung ist, an die ich nicht im Geringsten glaube, oder ein Unfall, ist vollkommen egal, denn wir werden gewinnen ... so wie alles Positive eine negative Seite hat, hat auch Negatives irgendwelche positiven Auswirkungen, die wir irgendwann bemerken werden ... und Thema aus ;)

Liebe Grüße 🙂

Good morning JJ and thank you very much.
There is a hole now where our cat was which can only be filled very slowly, but never fully I believe.

I hope everything is fine with you and your family - I need to ask, because things seem to get worse here - people think the apocalypse is coming and buy all food they can get, many shops are almost sold out, many places are closed already ... interesting days are coming.

Trust me from when our cat passed on the whole it never filled and at times you will feel it is still there with you

We are fine, we have stocked up early luckily as so many of the aisles inthe stores now are emtpy, we didnt go crazy but I am glad we did stock up a little

Yes, I believe you - before this cat we have had another cat, which also died much too early, and although we then had Whiskey we still think sometimes about the other cat even today :)

We haven't bought very much - my sister has told me today she has enough food for a few weeks and I am sure my mother has even a lot more - her fridge is always filled ;)

My wife went shopping this morning and she said that it was quite as on every other Saturday, apart from the fact that there was not much toilet paper left ;)
I think, that most people have bought as much as they could store at home and at least the shopping experiences have become about normal again for a while.

A valley in Tyrol was quarantined yesterday and this morning a single village in Carinthia - both areas are very well visited tourist and ski ressorts.
I believe there will be more quarantine zones soon and I still believe that our government is handling the situation the right way, what means I am still very optimistic 👍🙂

Yes, we should hope, and I also think that your government is handling the situation quite well - just as most countries are doing about the same things now by asking people to stay at home and reduce direct social contacts, close schools and also close not life essential shops ... have a look at China - they don't have many infections anymore. That should give us all the hope we need :)

Hopefully, before the Italian healthcare system and hospitals collapse, it all will get better just as it happens in China.
