Joey has been so busy hanging out with his siblings, playing, and watching squirrels and birds enjoy the feeders in our yard that he almost forgot to wish you a joyful #CoSoCaturday, but he got it done just in time. 😺 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday

Thank you so much to Chewy for the gorgeous roses they sent in honor of our sweet, wonderful, 18-year-old cat, Vincent, who we lost on 2/8. They continue to be so awesome to their customers. We really appreciate it! 💜💛😺 #Cats #Chewy #OutstandingCustomerService

Just a few more pics to show that he loved all his siblings (past and present) and they loved him, too! 😿💜💛#CoSoCats #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCaturday #Caturday

Here are just a few more pics of our wonderful Vincent, who was such a sweet younger brother to his departed siblings and also an awesome older brother to all his younger siblings. Our house will not be the same! 😿 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday #CoSoCaturday

He had some health issues, but we were keeping him happy & stable, until he recently started to show signs of decline. His bloodwork from this week indicated that he had cancer. He was only feeling worse each day, so we made that sad choice. We miss him! 😿 #CoSoCats #CatsOfCoSo #Caturday #CoSoCaturday

Today is a somber #CoSoCaturday at our house, because 2 days ago, we unfortunately had to say goodbye to our wonderful Vincent, with whom we had the pleasure of spending 17 years, 5 months & 7 days. He was 18 years, 5 months & 1 day old when he passed. We are heartbroken. 😿💜💛 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday

Mildred hopes you have a magnificent #CoSoCaturday filled with sunshine, plenty of entertaining things to watch, and lots of snuggles with buddies. 😺 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday

Theo is taking a break from snuggling with his siblings, playing with his blue spring toys, and staying warm under blankets to wish you a tremendous #CoSoCaturday. 😺 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday

Roscoe hopes you have had and continue to have an outstanding #CoSoCaturday filled with lots of rest and fun activities with buddies. 😺 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday

Fiona hopes you have a fantastic #CoSoCaturday and that you’re doing your best to keep warm, enjoy yourself, and have some fun with buddies. 😺 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday

Each year, the awesome local chain Treats Unleashed releases a pet memorial video. Last year, my email with pics & blurbs about the 2 beloved cats (Mikey & Leila) we lost in 2022 went to junk mail, & they weren’t included in the 2022 tribute. They designed slides for them & said they’d include them in the 2023 memorial. Their format changed due to so many submissions, but our babies are at the 1:42 mark (https://youtu.be/nqQhZSPFTgo). I’ve included the slides here, too. #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats 💜💛

Whether he’s snuggling with Joey, snuggling with Mildred, snuggling with Vincent or just relaxing on his own, Bryan hopes you have a wonderful #CoSoCaturday. 😺 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday

I haven’t posted about the books I’ve been reading in a while, but I wrapped up reading my 16th book for 2023 today after starting it a couple of days ago (Xmas break is so great for allowing me uninterrupted reading time). I mixed it up with nonfiction, fiction & memoirs this year, & I enjoyed them all. Here’s to another year of reading for fun! #JaynasBookClub #OpenCarryBooks 📚📖

Vincent wishes you an awesome #CoSoCaturday filled with quality snuggles with buddies, warm blankets, and lots of fun! 😺 He would also like to wish you an early #HappyNewYear! 🎉 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday

As another by her name says, Phoebe hopes you have a “Merry Christmas Eve Eve”! She also wishes you a happy #Festivus, though she’s generally too happy to have grievances. 😺 Last, she hopes you have a super festive #CoSoCaturday full of fun, snuggles and love! #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday

Joey would like to wish you a jolly #CoSoCaturday full of quality snuggles, plenty of warmth and lots of fun times with buddies! 😺 #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoCats #Caturday
