Today we said goodbye to Sterling, also known as President Princess, Purrling, and Fat Kitty, who was just a few months shy of 22. My best friend and companion for over half my life, I knew her from kittenhood and she was mine for 16 years.

This is amazing. Every time I think I’m done crying someone does something kind like this and I’m in tears again. A weird mixture of happiness and gratitude and just missing him so bad.

He looked so regal in that pic, I had to draw him! Hope that's OK. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. He looks a beautiful boy who probably purred really loud 🌸☘👑

A digital illustration of an incredibly fluffy cat, drawn in a watercolour-and-ink style. The colours are pastel with lots of yellow, aqua, and cool pink. The cat sits facing us, his bushy white chest contrasting with brown tabby colouring, giving the air of a wise white-bearded king. He has white paws and a white blaze on his face that covers his cheeks and nose. His long, bushy tail curves behind him, adding drama to the seated pose. A gold crown with red gems floats above his head like a halo, sending off radiant lines in the background. He sits on a fluffy white cloud. Around the image is a stylised frame, decorated with red clover (state flower of Vermont) and in the centre, the subject's name: FERGUS.
