Cat: Zoey (Domestic Shorthair Tuxedo) – Brooklyn, NY
(1990 – Dec 1, 2011)
Zoey the cat, who witnessed the fall of apartheid and the rise of Occupy Wall Street, and who weathered countless airplane, car, subway and bus trips as she traveled across Africa and the United States, died at her Brooklyn home Dec. 1 after a short illness. She was at least 21 years old.
Zoey was born in South Africa, about the same time Nelson Mandela was released from prison, and was a reflection of her homeland: mainly black, with some white; stoic and resilient in the midst of upheaval; a bit battered but beautiful.
Like her adoptive caretaker, she survived countless close calls as she adapted to the whims of various news organizations. She was abducted by wild dogs in West Africa; held hostage by corrupt customs agents in Ivory Coast; threatened with deportation by airport officials in South Africa; confronted by ice-pick wielding burglars in Johannesburg; hit by at least one car; forced to do battle with rabid rodents, reptiles and large winged insects; and struck by several mysterious illnesses in sub-Saharan Africa. In New York, she endured a tornado, a hurricane, and an earthquake.

Cat: Zac (Bobcat Manx) – Franklin, TN (Jul 7, 1991 – Dec 11, 2011)
Zac lived a long and happy life on a farm in Tennessee. He was a beautiful, black Bobcat Manx who had a wonderful disposition.
He was loved by his feline brothers and sisters, and he returned everyone’s love. Zac was a constant presence in my life for over twenty years.
He lived as long as he possibly could, and he was the oldest cat in my vet’s practice.

Dog: Billy (Bull Terrier)
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to share my sadness with people who care.
Billy was my beautiful and big brindle Bull Terrier, he was my baby and was only nine months old when he passed away.
He was a sweet gentle creature who charmed everyone he met with his good looks and stunning personality. His best friend was a little Jack Russel Terrier, she only weighs 5 kg (11 pounds). He was so gentle with her and they would play together all day.

Annie was left with us by someone who couldn’t take care of her.
We had her for 14 years. The best 14 years of our lives.

We miss you so much and are so sad tonight that you aren’t here.
Please remember us and run quickly to us when we all meet again in heaven.
We love you forever and ever Ms. Hammie.

Cat: Humperdink – Wesley Chapel, FL (Feb 14, 1995 – Nov 11, 2011)
I found Humperdink outside a video store I was working at in 1996. The vet said he was about a year and a half old. Over time I elected his birth date to be Valentine’s Day 1995 because of my great love for him.
He and I did everything together. He helped me with my college work (he loved the highlighter); He helped me hold down magazines and papers; He helped me wrap presents (he loved the ribbons); He helped me make the bed; He watched movies and TV with me. His favorite game was hide and seek. If there is such a thing as a pet being a soul mate then Humperdink was my pet soul mate.

Cat: Pooh (Siamese) – Florence, KY (1995 – Oct 30, 2011)
Today we have to say goodbye to our beloved Siamese girl cat. Pooh lived an incredible life spanning 16 years, born in 1995, and passed away October 30, 2011.Pooh was a total diva.
She was a purebred, lavender point, traditional Siamese, and could have been a show cat in her younger days. She was beautiful, and she knew it.
You could see nothing but love in those bright blue eyes. She got whatever she wanted, when she wanted it, and never took no for an answer. She was the queen of the world.

Cat: George Washington (DSH) – Las Vegas, NV (Mar 07, 1992 – Oct 28, 2011)
George Washington was more than a cat. He was a friend, a companion, and a confidant. He was an expert at hunting leaves, scrabble, and squeezing into boxes half his size. Always a professional, he wore his red tie with pride, and greeted all visitors who came to visit.
George only allowed me, from the age of 6, to pick him up and play with him. I would put him in the recycling bins and take him for rides around the house. I hated playing hide and seek at my house because George would always follow me and be a dead giveaway to my hiding spot.

Cat: Ambrosias (Persian) – (1989 – Oct 28, 2011)
My precious family cat Ambrosias was put down this evening. I was at work when my mother called to let me know. My cat was 22 years old and he loved sleeping and snuggling with my mother and brother.
Ambrosias couldn’t walk anymore and he hadn’t ate in 3 days. They found out he had kidney failure and my mother put him down this evening.
He was placed in a little white box and my mother is going to have a little ceremony tomorrow for him at our house. He was the first animal we got and he was the last one to get sick.
