Leo was a cat everyone would like to have had, and he was a cat for everyone. Sadly, Leo passed on today at the age of 14. The last couple of years he had to deal with a hyperthyroid, and Tristan did a very good job of diagnosing his condition and treating him with drugs prescribed by our vet. But like our Najar and Lola before him, Leo finally succumbed to his chronic condition. But his first 12 years were full of fun and vitality. Not only was Leo a super-loving kitty, he always had something to say about most everything. You can check out this post from 2012 called Leo Sez: https://wp.me/p1yQyy-102. We all loved Leo so much. We miss him greatly.
Leo puzzled over why on earth Tristan would take a shower and get all wet. Doesn’t she know to go outside, roll in the dirt and then lick herself clean?
Leo tested out the security of the door into the common area between the bedrooms.
Leo the lover boy.
Leo would listen…
Give you cute eyes…
…and then tell you what he thought about it.
Leo loved to play. Even when he was not feeling well he would not turn down a good round of play.

Argh! Sorry… I wanted this one. 🤗
Those emoji can be pretty sneaky.
Or my tiredness and not focusing on the right one 😉
I’m so sorry Tim, and everyone who loved Leo. He was so cute and beautiful, and I know how hard it is to lose animal friends.

OMG!!! This is a gorgeous cat. I fell in love. He reminds me of my old Pupkin.
This is a lovely tribute to Leo!
Thanks, Resa. Leo was a wonderful cat to fall in love with.
Such a pretty cat! I lost a pet this week also — a dog we had for 15 years. The house feels so quiet and still, almost like we’re empty nesting again. So sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. Bad week in general for pets. One of our staff had a cute puppy that all of a sudden go sick and died on Monday.
Sorry to hear that. It’s never easy to let them go.
I am so very, very sorry to hear this news,Tim. A beautiful and profound tribute to Leo.
Thanks, Rebecca.
I’m so sorry for your loss !
Thanks, Venessa.

I love this golden colored cats.
So sorry for your loss.
Thanks, Drew. He was such a sweetheart.
Sorry for your loss. It’s been hard for you. May his soul rest in peace.
Thanks Ritish.
Cats are family members and it is tough to see them go. Couragio!
Thanks, Allen.
Leo was the best cat anyone could ask for. He deeply believed everything was love, and he gave back as much love as he got. He looked at me with love in his little kitty eyes right to the very end, and I’m so blessed to have had such a wonderful cat as my companion for these 14 years. Thank you everyone for your condolences, in glad you got to appreciate a little spice of the silly, loving Leo cat! 🧡
Thanks, Tristan.
Similar statement as everyone, but it’s like saying bye to our children, and it just isn’t right. Life is not fair. Best wishes for all souls involved here
Thanks, Dawn.
[…] Sunset for Leo […]
Beautiful Kitty.
They sure are a part of us.
Thanks, Kenyanito.
Anytime Tim..
Just to ask, how did you manage Leo for 14 years? I’m in awe.
Leo was Tristan’s cat, bur we tend to have long lived cats (17, 18 , 19 years) when we raise them from kittens. Leo was really healthy until 12 when his thyroid whacked out on him. But he had a good final two years once he was on meds.
Then you’re a good company for cats.
May you have more..
We have lots of cats.
Cool.
Your Leo, looked very much like my late departed Tigger who died two years ago and is still missed. My heart goes out to you on your loss.
You never stop missing them. Thanks, Gerald.
I’m sorry for your loss Tim. This is a beautiful tribute, with cute pics of Leo.
Thanks, Ruelha.
He was beautiful. I know you miss him dearly!
Thanks, Arner.
I’m so sorry he looked gorgeous
Thanks, Megan Marie.
Leo was a beautiful cat, and a loving one too, apparently. I am sad with you
Thanks, Flo. It’s so difficult to lose our loved kitties. Do you have a cat?
I know how difficult it is. I lost four cats from October 2019 to January this year. One of them was the same color as Leo, and it was a marvellous cat. In fact, after the loss of my ‘two own cats’, I decided to adopt two old cats to offer them a nice end of life. They both died. I thought I was too sad to have another try, but the SPA introduced another little lady to me, 12 years old, abandoned twice, and I could not say ‘no’. So, here she is, still a bit afraid but she becomes more and more familiar day after day…
It is hard to turn down giving felines a good life. You are a very special person to be so loving towards older kitties. Kitties offer so much love and comfort we owe them the world.
I think taking care of them is taking care of me at the same time. During the two lockdowns, I was so happy to have them with me, to make me smile, laugh, feel serene… Happy and grateful. I like animals in general, but I love cats
That is so true. That’s how I feel and I really wish more people would realize that taking care of their cats, dogs and other pets, is taking care of themselves. Normally cats adopt us, sometimes we choose them, and we take care of each other.
Oh gosh I’m so sorry Tim .. thinking of Tristan and sending love. He sure was a beautiful boy ..
Thanks, Julie.
I love yellow cats.
Thanks, dinkydo.
So cute
Thanks, ibenksam.
