Hobbes Fattytail crossed the rainbow bridge today at 6:05 p.m. while I had him in my lap and stroked his ginger fur. He passed peacefully. He was just six years old April 1st.

We were privileged to have him choose our home to live. He was the most gentle, mellow and friendly kitty we ever had.

He will be sorely missed, all over the world. His five thousand Facebook friends and all his friends here at MyBloggers, as well as our family will never forget the little guy.

Thanks for your prayers and message for his health and well-being. We fought a devil of a fight, but in the end he went on to something even better, with dignity and in peace.
