My cat's name was Cody.

[Floogeldy]

He was big, smokey gray, with those yellow eyes. Cody would leave for days and then come swaggering into the backyard, baring scratches and battle scars, with that satisfied "I kicked all of their asses and pumped the neighbor's cat" look on his face.

After twenty years, I still see his descendants wandering the hood.

Hail Cody.

1. Sounded like Cody was a fine cat.

I just lost one of my cats, I know how you feel.

Hail Cody

[Floogeldy]

9. Sorry about your cat.

:(

[texanwitch]

16. Thank you.

The death was not unexpected, still hurts.

[Call Me Wesley]

2. I'm sorry to hear

but I'm sure he had the life he would have chosen from the beginning. I once had a cat like this.

Hail Cody.

[Floogeldy]

10. Yea, he had a great life.

:)

[Floogeldy]

11. Yea, he had a great life.

3. Are you sure they're all his descendants?

9 lives, y'know...

I'm sure you'll meet again...somehow. :hug:

Hail Cody! :beer:

[Floogeldy]

12. I'll see Cody in the hereafter!

Hail Cody.

:toast:

4. I'm sorry that you lost your cat, Cody.

He sounded like he was a real scrapper. :hug:

[Floogeldy]

13. He had a big sack.

Cody also had a twin brother, that was killed by some frat guys living next door. His name was Funk. Funk & Cody. They were neat.

We think Funk was drop-kicked, because the Vet said he had massive internal injuries. Funk was put to sleep in the early seventies.

Hail Funk.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Poor Funk!

:cry:

[Floogeldy]

22. During his short life . . .

. . . Funk was loved by many.

Don't be sad. :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. I wish I knew where those frat guys lived...

I'd go piss on their carpet. :grr:

[myrna minx]

33. Aww-poor Funk.

:cry: I lost my Nigel at the same time that Paul Wellstone died. Nigel lived a rich long life, but it was still sad. Cody sounded like a really cool cat.

All Hail Cody and Funk.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Ah, my dear Floog.....

I'm sorry he's gone......I know how much that hurts, my friend......

But he was King of the neighborhood while he lived, and you can take no small measure of satisfaction in that.....

Hail Cody.

:loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Floogeldy]

14. Thank you, CPeg.

Hail Funk & Cody.

:)

[DS1]

6. Sounds just like my grey tiger

He's got the battle scars, is built like a tank, and sometimes disappears for an entire week.

[Floogeldy]

15. You definitely know what I'm talking about.

Hail the Grey Tiger. :toast:

[henslee]

32. Mister Bill stalked my hood and was owned by no one. A nieghbor

who'd been feeding him thought he'd give Old Bill a much needed bath. Bill set him to the hospital for stitches. More than once, I saw Bill scratched up and bleeding. Sometimes, he'd come in my apt. for a snack. My indoor kitty would hide the whole time. Bill would never let me pet him and would let me know when it was time to go. I was in the pet shop once when the owner freaked out and ran to the back. It seemed that Mister Bill would open the back door with a paw, sneak in and help himself to food. The pet shop is gone. Mister Bill still walks the streets, a bit stiffer and a little slower but ready to tangle with any new jack Tom who wants a piece of him. Hail to Cody, Mr. Bill and their kind.

[ernstbass]

7. Hail Cody!!

[Floogeldy]

17. Cody loves you.

But you would never know it from that casual stare.

:)

[maxsolomon]

8. sometimes i wish my abby was intact

he'd make a great tom. he still disappears, but only for a day, usually.

i like him hanging around.

[Floogeldy]

18. Hail Abby!

:)

[maxsolomon]

34. thanks. his name is actually Arvo

and he's a Abyssinian (Fawn). i will never own another type of cat. they are the shit. they act like dogs & have giant nearly-prehensile paws.

[Heidi]

20. Hail Cody, neighborhood warrior.

:toast:

[Floogeldy]

21. Thanks, Friend.

:)

[liberaltrucker]

24. Mine was Alex

A neutered housecat that hated the outside. Went to the litter box in the sky in May 05 from pancreatic infection. Hail Cody and Alex.

[Floogeldy]

25. Hail Alex!

:)

[hickman1937]

26. Aw shit damn and fuck. I lost Unkas last year. Grey tiger, yellow eyes.

I can't say you'll get over this. I never have. Why are we supposed to "get over" our losses? Don't get me started.

[liberaltrucker]

27. We never do

When I can't get online, I look at my pics of Alex. He was a close friend, closer than most humans.

[hickman1937]

28. So tell me why it's best to move on.

Tell me why they are supposed to be just a fond memory. Maybe I'm too selfish for that.

[liberaltrucker]

29. He was a member of the family who passed away

Not unlike my human relatives. I cherish the memories, but sooner or later, deal with the fact they're gone. Get over it? I don't think so. My beloved Grandmother died in 1981. I'll never get over it.

[driver8]

30. I had to put my Border Collie, Cody, to sleep in June...

Here is to our Codys!! :toast:

[NMMNG]

31. Hail Cody

:hug:

[yellowdogintexas]

35. Mine was named Atlas and he could kick ass

invited himself to live with me when he was just a little guy and I did not think I wanted another cat. He had other plans



Nine years was just not long enough.

Hail Atlas!!!!! Hail Cody!!!!! Hail Funk !!!!!

Hail to all the Furry Four Foots we all have loved and lost.


and the ones we are fortunate enough to still have with us.

[ET Awful]

36. I had a similar cat as a kid named Smokey, he once dragged

one of the neighbors prime egg-laying hens in through the bathroom mirror . . . it was bigger than him, still alive and clucking, squawking, pecking up a storm.

It was quite an adventure trying to sneak that chicken back to it's owners at midnight without them noticing :)

[wildhorses]

37. Cody was Top Cat

I like that
about a cat
one cool cat
that Cody cat

I know you miss him. My Levon was the same and I miss him terrible bad.
