Hootie 1996-2005
July 19th, 2005 | by Scott Jennings |I wasn’t expecting to eulogize a cat today. Hootie seemed to be getting over whatever illness he had over the weekend, and he was walking around and climbing last night just fine. This morning, he was dead on the bathroom floor.
Hootie was my mom’s cat, and it was my job to take care of my mom’s cat, so this has hit me really hard. It’s comforting to think that my little buddy’s back in his mom’s lap, but it hurts to lose my friend and my link to my mother so suddenly. Mom always called Hootie our “little brother,” and that’s how it felt to lose him.
Hootie had a lot of friends and a lot of fans, and he will be missed. He was a good cat.
