It is with a sad heart that I tell you that I discovered that Freddie was killed today, apparently hit by a car.

He was an amazing, sweet, and funny little cat. I got him at the shelter about a year ago, to keep Henry, a cat I had gotten from my friend Stephanie, company.

Henry and Freddie became fast friends, often napping together, playing chase, all those things loving kitties do.

I will miss him. Henry is looking for him.

I think we will go to the shelter tomorrow and bring a new cat home. But as you know, no one can replace the one you've lost.

I made this video one afternoon. He often slept like that, strung like a suspension bridge from the armchair to the scratching post, his round belly hanging. He was a source of constant joy. 

Goodbye, my sweet little Freddie.
