Jazzpurr

I really don't have many words today. It is a sad day. My beautiful cat Jazzpurr passed over the Rainbow Bridge. He was almost 14. He was getting frail and not eating as much but he still managed to jump up into my bed every night. He died peacefully in his sleep over the weekend. We will miss him terribly.

We adopted him and his sister Jennifur from the Humane Society when they were 3 months old. They were supposed to be outside cats to help with some mousing. They never set a paw outside! They were too wonderful and were meant for couch duty. Jazz loved it when I came to bed early to read. He had a thing for sitting on my open book. I never had the heart to move him and just pet him rather than read. I will miss that. I will miss everything about him.

Jazz was a beautiful cat. He had striking black and white and tabby markings and beautiful soulful eyes.  I painted him many times.  Jazz had a kind and gentle way about him. He was never fazed by anything. He was such a good cat. It is so hard to lose such a good friend.
