Today we say goodbye to one of our cats, Byter. She was about 19 and lived a long, full life.
My wife had the Byter before we were married. Originally names Sassafras or Sassy for short she grew into the name Byter by way of her actions. She grew to like that name and responded to it when called.
Byter was quite the cat.
Though she never had any kittens of her own whenever we brought kittens into the house she would cozy up to them and treat them like her own. I have a ton of pictures of the Byter curled up on a bed or chair with a new kitten. I also have some pictures of her fighting with those kittens once they grew into cats. I guess even cats rebel against their parents after a certain age?
Byter was a big eater throughout most of her life. When my wife got her she had to be fed baby food because she was a little on the young side. A few weeks ago my wife had to feed her baby food again due to a sickness she was suffering through.
Even though she was old and walked with a little bit of a limp she seemed to be in good spirits. she had a shelf in the bathroom that she would sleep on and a special tree in the yard where she would laze away the day. It is under that tree where she will rest.
Byter was a good cat, she will be missed.
I will never forget when Byter attacked a certain gamer….
Byter will be missed.
Im so sorry.
This makes me sad to know :(
Best wishes for the family.

She earned that name.
It is really sad to see that it is no more between us.
Wow… that is very sad :( I hope she will RIP in a good place. Sounded like she was a joy to have.
Till then,
Jean
It’s really sad, Byter really looks a great cat.
Sure she will enjoying at any where but most of missing her….
Sorry to hear that – we were gutted when we lost our cat a couple of years back too.
I’m very sorry.
It’s really difficult when a family member dies. I am very sorry to hear that. I am not looking forward to the day my Dear Walter kitty goes to Kitty Heaven.
Yup you are right it is a difficult time when that happens. And indeed I hope Byter is in Cat Heaven!
I feel really sad, I can understand this pain because I have also face the same situation, it is really a tough time for you.
I just had to put my cat of 8yrs to sleep. Someone please tell me there is, I need the faith. Either way someone please say a prayer for a good friend.
I just lost my dog Jake to Cancer and it reminded me of this post and I came back to reflect, again, great post!
The cat thinks for a moment and says, “Lord, all my life I have lived with a poor family and had to sleep on a hard wooden floor.” The Lord stops the cat and says, “Say no more,” and a wonderful fluffy pillow appears.
