For almost two months, Sir Elton has been very sick. After running numerous tests,  he was finally diagnosed with colon cancer; a cancer that was getting increasingly worse and painful for him.

We had to make the very difficult, heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our little friend this week.

Sir Elton was a regal, royal, proud cat. He was beautiful, unique and friendly – in his own independent way. He enjoyed watching television, bird watching and sleeping on the plush blanket.

Elton was the gift I never knew I needed until I met him. Apart of me died with him. But I wholeheartedly believe his warmth stays with us, and his spirit lives on.

You will be forever in my heart, Sir Elton. Not a day in my life will go by that I won’t think of you. Thank you for spending this time with us, with me. I love you.

“I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep. I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear. ‘It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.’” (“I Walk with You,” author unknown)

My life, home and heart feel empty. I will miss you forever Sir Elton. These years have been such a blessing with you. It breaks my heart that you’re not here, on your giant grey bed, your little purple paws will no longer walk on me when you are getting ready to nap and your little fluttering tail watching out the window. I love you more than you’ll know and I hope your pain is gone now. You are the purest gift to this world and I am thankful you were apart of MY world. You’re a ROYAL Russian Blue, my sweet friend and a piece of my heart I will never get back. RIP my love ❤️

Ten years ago, this little man came into our lives. Jimmy Dean is the most special guy, who has never changed. His temperament, his chirp of a meow, and his very sweet personality makes him a unique fella.

Today, I look back at the decade and am so blessed to have this man in my life. I will love him forever.

Happy Christmas eve to all! And after a request by London Calling blog, I have decided to share some recent photos of Jimmy Dean and Sir Elton John who are all snuggly for the holidays!

I hope everyone is just as warm and happy as the two fellas!
