Figaro aka Brobro.....my Mother and Dad’s lovely cat, died yesterday. He lived an amazing and charmed 16 years with them. I wrote a blog some time agoabout him that you can see here.
We buried him under the branches of a hemlock tree, that was his favorite contemplating life and hiding from the world space. He could see out but could not be seen by those who did not know he was there.
This lovely spot is behind the gazebo where he spent many happy times with us, as we enjoyed the garden, birds, bees and butterflies by day and the fire-flies in the evening. He was much loved and will be sorely missed.

Brobro sounds like he gave as much love as he got. I'm sorry for you to have lost him, but happy he will always be near in memory.
Awe, I'm sorry Mo'a. Our kitties have such a place in our family lineup... it is just not the same when they aren't there. I'm sorry for your loss. We buried our Big Kitty (we lost her during a heat wave several weeks ago) in our garden, under the oak tree where she had spent many happy hours being a garden buddy.
One of the biggest tragedies of my life was when my cat Missy, one of five beautiful beings that graced my life and kept me sane in the toxic world of my mother, fell out of the seventh-floor window of my apartment and I had to pick up her dead body... it has taken me nine years to accept a feline friend again and I am healing thanks to my dear cats Ziggy Barley and Tigerlily...
I could not bury her, I have a hard time burying things you see, but I placed her body under a tree...
All this to say I know all too well the pain of such a loss. My heart goes out to you all and my condolences, especially to your parents and may sweet Brobro rest in peace...
g: He did indeed give much love....Mother and Dad find the house very empty now and they have less to do as he was inn and out of the house all day long.
Terry: I am so sorry for your loss...that heatwave was brutal, we even had it in Denmark.....my parents said it was unbearable here in NJ. Our kitties are in their favorite places right now and also in our hearts....we cannot control fate, at the same time it is hard.
MizBohemia: Our pets do give us a tremendous amount of unconditional love and good company and are there when we need them the most....I am glad you had your cats when you needed them the most.
I also find it hard to bury things...I want to be cremated as I have claustrophobia.....my only phobia I know of....and I find it hard at funerals to see the casket go in the ground.....I always look away.
I will give my parents your condolences.....thank you for that my dear MizB.
Mo'a i'm so sorry to know of your parent's loss. our furry friends are the source of such love and companionship, i can only imagine how empty your Mother and Dad's home seems without him. still, it sounds as tho' he lived a full and happy life, and brought about much joy while he was here.
my heart goes out to you, too, dear Mo'a, for clearly Brobro was special, and will be missed a great deal by you, as well. xoxo
Neva: Brobro is already being missed by all who knew him. What makes me sad is that he is my parents last pet.....they don't feel that it would be fair at their age to get another pet (83 and 92) They will take care of my Oli Moses (the canary) and Brie (the most beautiful girl in Medford)....she is a cat :)
Thank you for your sympathies my dear Neva.
that is just so sad, but burried in the graden, he´ll never leave your place, your hearts and your memories.
I love my pets, they are birds, and one of them got recently sick and it made me feel nauseaus and terrified.
I have lost a pet before, I will lose one again...it is the circle of life. But the journey we take together will always be engraved in our hearts.
My condolences go out to your parents and to you and whoever this beautiful cat touched. brobro looks happy on those pics and I bet he left peacefully and satisfied!
Age 16!!!
Thank you Minka, he did leave peacefully and was always satisfied....we all said that if we came back as an animal we would like to come back as Brobro....he had a great life.
I am sorry about your bird...is he/she alright. I have a canary and he is not long for this world he has already defied the odds and lived longer than expected....he looks old an tired but at times sings his wonderful songs...not as often as he used to.
Yes such is the cycle of life, this is why it is so important to love much and dance much while one is here :)
I'm so sorry Mo'a.
Rest in peace, Figaro. You did your job well.
Condolences, Mo'a.
Kyahgirl: Thank you. You know how it feels to loose a beloved pet.
Doug: He did indeed. Thank you Doug.
