Sad day in SlapstickStuff land. Ringo passed away today after 10 years of basically living the charmed life of a scrappy lil' tomcat. For quite a few years he was the "unofficial" SlapstickStuff mascot... If you watch carefully during the run of SS71-SS107, you might spot him wandering around in the backyard, blissfully unaware of all the messy shenanigans going on nearby.
He was also quite the charmer, as evidenced by these pics with Nikki from SS72. Godspeed, lil' guy....
I can "take-it-or-leave-it" when it comes to pets generally, but I actually cried when my g/f's little cat died....and I'd not cried since I was a kid !
We're involved in breed rescue so we're accustomed to taking in older cats who just need somewhere comfortable and stress-free to live out their lives. And, unfortunately we're also familiar with losing them to old age, it never gets any easier. In my thoughts tonight.
