Chris and I took Smokie in as a stray in 2004, he was this little mangy cat that we fell in love with. At the time we already has Silas and we weren't planning to get another cat, but he showed up and we even tried to take him to the pound, but ended up adopting him right back the next day. Despite his poor litter box use, he was such an awesome cat. He put up with the kids doing just about anything to him, he made us laugh when he would try and crawl into just about bag or box laying around as you can see in some of the pictures. He loved to snuggle (especially with me). Because of his peeing in the house we kept him outside alot of the time, but he still got to come in once a day for a while and he really enjoyed being an outside cat, watching the birds and squirrels. He was probably chasing a squirrel in the street when he got hit. This was really sudden and I my heart hurts right now. I know this is what comes with having pets, but he was part of our family so as silly as it may seem to some, I am grieving for him...... Chris and I barried him in the back yard with Silas. I love you Smokie, Im so glad you were part of our family for 8 years.
Ah Trish, I totally understand! So sorry to hear about Smokie! Love you guys.
