"Baby Paws polishes his weapons of choice early morning after an extended -— disproportionate? — night out in field and forest down Goomp's," we captioned this image of our own baby boy two years back.
A lovely tribute from Pam:
Baby held the blogosphere in his paws. He helped sway opinion, debut recipes and usher in holidays. He will be missed.
Big time.
Update: Our darling Laura Lee shares our sorrow:
Babe along with his sibling, Tiny have been the sweet stars of Sissy’s blog, sisu and her whimsical photography and writing about the two zany and beautiful kitties have always brightened the darkest day for many.
"Oh, Babe, I will miss you."
Update II: Our precious Teresa offers fond remembrance:
A lovely kitty, most regal. He even favored me with a stroll across my lap once. I will always remember him fondly.
Such a boy.
Update III: Our darling blogdaughter Pat carries our sorrow:
My dearest, ever-loving BlogMother has suffered a terrible loss, and our world is bereft of half our daily kitty-fix.
Please visit and offer condolences.
Lord, we love our little pets too much.
Too much? Oh, no. Never enough.
It is consoling that Baby who had become a well know member of the blogoshere will be missed by his friends there.

...and tears fall anew. Does it help to know that yours is shared sorrow? I dearly hope so.

Baby held our hearts in his paws, too. Ongoing prayers and hugs from this corner of New England.

We is furry sorry to read of Baby's passin. When Bonnie died in May, the beans didn't know she was efun sick an the mergency vet was quick to try to safe her. She was 11teen an didn't let anyone know her liver didn't werk. When Nina went to the mergency vet cuz she scratched her eye, no one touched the puter cept Nina! She wanted to blog her speriences, I guess. Anyway, we feel Baby knowed how much you lufed him an wanted to stay, but he just couldn't. He's playin wif Bonnie an all da ofurs at da Rainbow Bridge. I hope they can still read our blogs. You took wonnerful pictors of him an I hope they will provide sum comfert. Purrs,
Victor Tabbycat

Zany was such a good description of the marvelous Baby. I really must start using my new digital camera to keep a record of the redoubtable Sam's antics! Now before it's too late.
