Post Your Happy Memories Here Options

I love all the tributes, stories, poems, etc that everyone puts down for their beloved pets. In order for me to deal with my dear Smokey being gone, I've been trying to think of all the things he did that made me laugh, smile, or feel so incredibly loved by him. I was hoping I could start a thread where we could each in turn share something amazing about our passed furbabies.

I'll start..

Smokey used to give me what I called 'smokey-kisses' he would actually give me a kiss on a spot on my arm or leg, or sometimes my face if he was sleeping on my head (he usually did) These weren't licks, but much more humanlike kisses, and they were so sweet. I could even request them from him too!
Smokey would also sing in the bathtub, join me in the shower, and sleep on my head.

Ever since Smokey passed, Kramer has started his version of Smokey-kisses, he's not able to give them the same way, but he does a random one or two licks that he NEVER did before Smokey left us, a little odd ??

Iggie was a polydactyl tabby I had for a short 3 years when I was a teenager, he actually taught himself to pee in the toilet !! We thought my little sis wasn't flushing the potty - lol then I walked past the bathroom one day, and there was iggie, half in / half out using it!! It was such a trip!

Aw so cute, thank you for pinning and thank you guys for sharing your fond memories. It's these memories that get me through the days and times when I miss Smokey so bad it feels like I'll just crumble.

John you reminded me of one of Smokey's favorite games. I got a laser pointer one year for Christmas, and in playing with it found the cats fascinated. Smokey chased it across the room and up to the wall, there I turned it off. He stared at that spot on the wall for DAYS miaowing loudly, waiting for the spot to come back LOL!

It got to where he knew the sound of the laser pointer (it was a keychain one) and if I moved the chain just a little bit, he'd come running from wherever to play - was really sad though when the batteries finally gave out, and I never did get replacements

The laser pointer is great. I liked to turn it off just as they slapped their paw down on it. Sadie used to think it was under her paw and would slowly try to lift it without letting it escape. lol.
