yesterday morning i woke up, and watcher was hiding out in my closet… not a usual thing for him….
after a few minutes i realized something was wrong, he was very unresponsive.. and just kinda out of it….
i called and left a msg for the in home vet, and headed to work….
erin came into work, and i explained i wasnt sure how long i would last….
joan, the vet called me and after explaining what was going on… she asked me if i felt it was time for him to go, and i agreed…. he has given up… she said she would rearrange her schedule and be at my place at 8a (today)
i decided to go home and spend the day with watcher……
he had i cuddled and sat together all day…. he was very weak, unable to stand and barely hold his head up…..
i even sat on the front step with him so he could feel the sunshine…..
i constantly told him how much he meant to me… how he was the best kitty in the whole world, and so handsome…… i also told him that it was ok to go, that he had such a good long life…. that he overcame so many things…. that i was blessed to have him, especially this past year and half…..
around 7 i called my dad to tell him what was going on…he was sad to hear, and explained how he has always dreaded this call…. i explained to him that i wish he would pass on his own, so i wouldnt have to make the decision to put him down…..
around 8 my friend lee came over, cause i was sick of being all alone all day and crying…..
around 8:30-9 watcher started coughing a bit…..
and then he was gone….
it was hard to tell at first, so i called CARE to ask for signs….
and then i knew he had passed…….
i think he knew thats how i wanted him to go….
i feel so lucky that i was able to be home with him, that i wasnt traveling….
i brought him to the vets this am to be cremated… this is something i have to do… i dont have a special place to bury him, with my dad and i moving all the time…..
even though i have been trying to prepare myself.. one is never prepared…..
even though i know he was on his 10th life….. its still hard that hes no longer here
i know hes in a better place, i know he knows i loved him……
watcher shurkus august 1987- october 16 2007
i will always remember the day he was born
i will always remember naming him right off the bat… he was the first kitten to sit up and look around….
i will always remember begging my mother to let me take him home
i will always remember paying for all his vet bills with my 5th grade allowance
i will always remember walking around the woods with him tucked in my coat….
i will always remember my step brother rough housing with him, his arms filled with scratches
i will always remember the night our parakeet got out and watcher killed him, he was such a hunter…
i will always remember taking him camping with us on a harness and leash
i will always remember the time he ran away for 2 weeks…. coming home all skin and bones
i will always remember when life started to get complicated… he would always go where ever i was and adjust….
i will always remember the attitude he gave everyone… not very lovey…. except with me
i will always remember the looks i got when i was packing for school each semester
i will always remember how happy he was when i came home….
i will always remember the first time he got fleas…. all his years out doors he never did… until we moved into an apt complex
i will always remember when his mood started to mellow… and change….
i will always remember how in awe i was that he let friendly kitty come around with out a fight
i will always remember him coming down to my craft room asking me to goto bed with him, since it was getting late
i will always remember how good he was when i had to give him insulin, most of the time
reminding me
i will always remember how scary it was when i learned he had cancer on his tongue…. but he is a fighter
i will always remember his voice, his meows… how he would talk back to me….
i will always remember him begging to go outside in the rain not knowing cats dont like to get wet
i will always remember he was my lil sunshine kitty hating winter as much as me
i will always remember a year and half ago, when matt spoke up and we took him home, instead of putting him down…. he had a good year and a half
i will always remember him being there for me…. knowing when i was sad, sensing when i was upset….
i will always remember how he was there for me at the start of the summer… moving with me, helping me feel not so alone….
20 years…. i will always remember….
thanks for letting me get some of that out…. i prolly wont be blogging for a few days….
How very lucky he was to have you Jenn♥️!!!!
Oh Jenn, this is so lovely and sad, but so special at the same time. Watcher sounds like the very best kitty, and I’m glad that you had one another so long, even if it could never be long enough. Thank you for sharing these memories with all of us! ❤️
OMGoodness, I’m balling like a baby here. So sorry to read this. It’s obvious how much you loved your watcher. I had a special kitty too – Muffin is still on my mind and in my heart now, 13 years after he passed. I was blessed to have him for 18 years. Sending hugs…
Jenn, hoping the good memories are carrying you through the fifth year of Watcher’s moving on to a new life. It’s always hard to lose family, and pets are furry family. {{{hugs}}}
awwww, I remember……here’s to Watcher’s good long life, well lived, well loved…..always missed……hugs miss jenn!!!!
That was a beautiful story about your baby! You are a good kitty mommy! Nice to remember watcher in your blog! xo
i am glad that he lived a good long life with you. {{hugs}}
I am so sad for the loss of your dear friend. My kitty had diabetes as well, and it was so hard, but so worth it to keep him alive. It broke my heart when I had to let him go. Your post is so beautiful, and I know your dear friend will miss all of those things about you too. Many hugs!
I’m so sorry to hear about watcher. I have had two precious kitties live past 20, and my babies now are 12. It is a blessing and miracle that we are able to have these precious creatures share our lives. {hugs}
My daughter is in fifth grade and we just got her a kitten. I was pondering her in twenty years perhaps in the same situation as you, brought a tear to my eyes. Sounds like your kitty was blessed with a nice long life and home. I know you will miss him.
What a lucky kitty that he had you, and what a lucky you to have shared his love for so long. My heart goes out to you. Hugs friend.
i am so sorry you had to say goodbye to such a lovely friend. It is so so hard. Hang in there and give yourself lots of time to grieve. Your post was lovely. i wrote a letter to my dog and put the letter in the back of a picture of him.
I just found you through Donna Downey’s blog. I am sobbing after reading about you and Watcher. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you. What you wrote was so wonderful and touching. May you find peace.
I too had a, Spaz, from when I was in 3rd grade till after I was married, 16 years. I find comfort in knowing that when I die and go to heaven- Spaz will be one of the first ones there to greet me.
Take care.

I am so sure that Watcher felt so blessed to have such a wonderful carer as yourself. He had a wonderful life. May he Rest in Peace now!!
{{hugs}}
Jenn,
I’m so sorry to have read about your beautiful kitty, Watcher. I have lost two of my sweeties in the last 5 years and I know how hard it is. My thoughts are with you. I’m glad for you that you wrote about all the things you remembered about him. You will treasure that.
Laurie Patterson (Ink About It)
tHIS IS THE FIRST TIME i read your blog and the tears are running down my face sorry to hear about your kitty.
your kitty remembers you too.
This is the very first time I’ve visited your blog, and now I whole heartedly believe it was not by coincidence. I held onto your every word, as I too have a very old friend- born in the spring of 1988. Hard to believe that she & I have been together for nearly 20 years. In the last 6 months, I’ve noticed the differences. I know that our days together are numbered now. So many of the things you wrote are also so very true of the relationship that my kitty & I have… sensing when things are good, and not so good… knowing when it was time for me to go back to school and exercising her right to avoid me at all costs- ears back and all. And a sheer happiness (after a few moments of stand-off-ish-ness- just to remind me how unfair the whole darn leaving thing was). And putting up with all these children over the years. I love her so much, and I’ve never heard anyone sum up the way I will feel in the near future so perfectly well. My heart reaches for you. May the good times and many memories you shared together be enough to comfort you through these cloudy days.
I am SO very sorry for your loss Jenn. Watcher sounds like an amazing cat. How lucky was he to have you. Take care of yourself right now. And know that he is happy and playing all day in th sunshine!
{{HUGS}}
jenn…
I am so sorry for your loss. i know how hard it is… i recently lost my baby George … a big orange tabby also… it was one of the hardest things i’ve ever had to do… i held my baby when he left this world…and i still hold him in my heart. Watcher had a wonderful life…i can tell by reading what you wrote…and the best mom in the whole world, i’m sure. Maybe G and Watcher are hunting together and playing… orange tabbs are special aren’t they? I only wish I could say or do something to ease your pain, but there isn’t. Just know that you were the best thing in his life and you were there for all of it… you were blessed…and so was he.
i made a book for my baby after some time had passed, and I think it helped me deal with alot of the grief.
i wish for you that peace that comes with knowing how much you meant to the little man’s life.
hugs
rebecca l. shelor
What a great mom you’ve been to Watcher all these years. That doesn’t make losing him any easier though, does it? I am so sorry for your loss. What a gift you gave him by being there with him at the end.
aww sweetie. i’m sorry :(.
people and animals come and go in our lives, and some forever leave their mark. i think we are better ,for knowing and loving our “furry children”. watcher had a better and kinder life with you there to take care of him. sending out a big hug.

My deepest sympathies jenn. Gentle comforting hugs. Watcher will always remain a part of your heart and soul.
I am so incredibly sorry for your great loss. Our fur children hold incredibly special places in our hearts. Know that Watcher is now your fur angel and looking out for you. With great sadness and tears flowing down my face I understand your pain. I hope all the wonderful memories you have of and with him, will carry you through the tough times. He knew how much you loved him and will miss him just as you know how much he loved you. My thoughts, prayers and hugs are with you. Take care.
oh jen, i know your heart is broken. sharing your tears, and sending you a million hugs.
I am so sorry to hear about watcher. I know how much he meant to you. Just revel in the time you had with watcher and remember how fond you were of him and his spirit will live forever. Again I am sorry for your loss
Jenn,
I don’t know if I’ve ever posted to your blog but I’ve been a lurker for a long time. I’ve kept up with Watcher and always enjoyed the pictures you’ve posted – always so precious. I have a 12.5 yr old blind poodle who sleeps 95% of the day – I am struggling with his days coming to an end too. Thank you for sharing Watcher with us. I’m sorry for your loss.
I read your whole post with all your great memories of Watcher, and it brought tears to my eyes; I know what loss of a pet is like and you were a great mommy to him-I know he had a great 10 lives! {HUGS}
Jenn,
I’m sorry to hear about Watcher. Your tribute to him is beautiful and it has me in tears as I type this. Watcher lived a long and happy life and was very LUCKY to have you as his mommy. I’m glad you were able to be home with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jenn. {{HUGS}} xxooxx S
oh, honey you have me in tears…i am soo sorry and i wish i lived closer by to just give you a {{GIANT HUG}}. i wish there was something that i could say that would make it better, but life just really sucks sometimes…i hope you will be ok girl. your in my thoughts.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. 🙁 I know the pain of losing a childhood pet myself so my thoughts and prayers are with you.
(((hugs)))
I’m very sorry to hear of your kitty’s passing. Having been in that spot a year ago, I know how incredibly heartwrenching it is to lose a beloved companion. I posted on my blog at the beginning of the month how much I still miss my kitty a year after her death (she was 16 when she passed away). I still cry sometimes.
Take time to grieve. I love your “I will always remember” list; it’s very touching.
I am sorry to hear about Watcher. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will light a candle in the temple for him and you.
I am so sorry for your loss. i know and understand the pain of losing a beloved pet. I lost my 14 and 15 yr old poodles 3 yrs apart, and it was horrific. I miss them to this day. Reading your post made me cry, for you and your pain, and for me and my Buddy and Lucky. Time will heal, but your right, you’ll never forget someone you’ve loved that much.
jenn,
with tears in my eyes, I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for you. I cannot imagine having a pet and a friend for that long and losing them. I don’t really know what else to say, other than I am sorry for your loss.
deanna
oh jenn… there are no words… i am so sorry for your loss. kitties love you no matter what and they are always there for you … you took such good care of watcher… and now i think he will continue to look after you… take care…
Oh Jenn, my heart hurts so much for you. I don’t have the right words…but just that I am thinking of you and am happy for the long lifetime Watcher had with you. Sending a hug to you, Diane
Love you Jenn 🙂
Jenn.. may the outpouring of love and support get you through this difficult time.
god bless you and watcher.
peace,

Jenn- I’m in tears – your tribute is so beautiful. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Oh, Jenn . . . I am so sorry. Watcher sounds like he was an amazing kitty. My kitty, Hobbs, is almost 15, and I, too, dread the day when he will leave us. Sending you many, many hugs. You’re in my thoughts.
Seeing all of the beautiful projects in the store that you created featuring Watcher, hearing you speak of him, reading what you wrote about him in your blog; it was always obvious that you loved and appreciated him for the wonderful friend that he was. You were so blessed to have him in your life for so long, and he was truly blessed to have you.
sending hugs….
I’m so sorry… it’s just so hard… your post brought me to tears.
My little Kitty, Sundae, is going to be 16 in February. I cherish my little cat and she’s so very special to me.
As the days pass, I find myself wondering when I’ll have to say goodbye… and the thoughts never get any easier to think about.
I hope you feel better soon and can focus on all the happy times you had with Watcher. Take comfort in the fact that you gave your little kitty the very best life possible!
With heartfelt sympathy,
Dana
Jenn, Sorry to hear about Watcher. You are in my thoughts
((HUGS)) to you! You can tell how just very much you adored him. I am sorry for your loss.
Dear jenn,
I can totally fell your pain, and I’m so so sorry. We had to do the same thing to our Sally after having her for 13 years, and it was the first pet my kids had to say goodbye to.
I stayed in bed for 3 days, and cried like a baby, but I can tell you that time will heal. When you are ready make some artwork with pictures of your sweet cat. I’m sue he is having fun playing with my Sally right now.
Take care and I will be sending you healing thoughts.
Smiles,
helle
Oh, Jenn…I am so very sorry. I can tell you loved him so much. I’m so glad you were able to spend his last day with him. {{{{hugs}}}}
Jennifer
Watcher’s final physical breath has intermingled with yours so he is a part of you forever. He will never be gone because he is still alive as long as you are. And the person you because as you grew up together-can you imagine it any other way? I keep my fur children under the pines in my yard when it is time and talk to them when I am gardening. I let Alex go last year about this time at 21 and then shockingly Clancy soon followed at early middle age. Their brothers and sisters are still here to remind me that there is always room in my heart to give love to those who have no voice in the earth kindgom.
What an amazing story. I have no doubt that he lingers on still watching over you and your home. 🙂 I have never lost someone so close to me so I dont have many helpful words for you but I am sending as many strength vibes as possible and am thinking of both of you…hugs and love.
-Theresa Marie
Jenn…I am crying with you sweetie. I am sooooo sorry to hear that Watcher has passed on. I am so glad that he went peacefully at home with you, 20 years is an amazing gift, he must have felt proud to be your companion all these years. I wish I could be there with you right now, I know I still miss my honey everyday, and we only had a fraction of the time you had with Watcher.
I know this will hurt, but just remember, he is always there with you, as long as he is in your heart, he will never really be gone.
hugs
Oh Jenn, I am so very sorry. I don’t have your new phone number or I would have called you. I remember Watcher’s photo when you put on his nail covers. I thought he was so stunning with his nail covers. You have lost a very good friend. Remember he will meet you in Heaven one day. How we depend on our pets for comfort and they are ALWAYS there. Watcher will still be looking out for you in Heaven. Oh Jenn, I cry with you. I know how much you loved him. Big Hugs from this Calif Gal.
What a sweet tribute. Hugs Jenn. Watcher had a wonderful life…
Oh man. I am so sorry girl. Hang in there. Love.
Jenn, even in your sadness you inspire. your words about Watcher are beautiful and now i have to do the same for my Molly.
my heart goes out to you. time makes it easier but you will never forget him. Watcher was a lucky cat to have had you love him so much.
oh jenn, i’m so sorry to hear about watcher. i hope as time goes by things will be easier to deal with for you. thinkin’ of you…
Jenn, I’m so very sorry, hon. It’s so so hard to lose a furry friend. xoxo Kim
Jenn, I do hope all of these hugs are giving you some comfort. Take care,
Elena
I am so sorry to hear about Watcher. You have such great memories and he sounds like he was a wonderful friend and family member. He is in cat heaven with my Bailey and Jake.
oh Jenn! I’m all teary eyed. I know how much he meant to you. Sending great big comforting hugs!
Jenn, I am sitting here at work reading your blog and sobbing for you. I am so sorry to hear about Watcher. It’s tough to be a pet parent on that dreaded day, but it’s how we honor our beloved friends. I will give my kitties Chloe, Rowdy & Hopper some extra hugs tonight. Watcher can be on the lookout in heaven for Eli & Indy – they have treats & fake mice waiting for him. Hugs to you, be brave.
Sorry about your kitty. {{{hugs}}}
As I read your blog tears were coming down my cheeks, and Madge, our cat jumped in my lap and began to lick my face. Then she started to purr and knead me with her paws. I wanted to share our condolences. Joni and Madge
Jenn:
I’m so sorry to hear about Watcher. You are right that no one is ever prepared for it even when you think you are. Our cat passed away July 1 after 16 years of being with us and it’s still difficult. I was just happy that she passed at home and I didn’t have to go put her down as I knew something was wrong as well. Maybe my Tux and your Watcher will become pals in kitty heaven and know how much they were loved.
Kim
My heart is just broken. I’m sitting at work bawling my eyes out right now… Jenn I love you and I am just so so so sorry…
Sending you love and hugs as you miss your friend. May you have peace in knowing he had the best with you and is now resting. You loved him so much and gave him the best life. May you find joy in all that he gave to you over the years.
Hugs,
Annette
Bless your heart Jenn. I am so sad for you and I just dread the day our dog has to deal with getting old and moving on. It’s so difficult, but worth every moment they’re with us to be our special companions. Take care! (((hugs))))
I am so sorry to hear about Watcher. He was a lucky kitty to have you to love him as much as you do. He knew and felt your love, and that is the most important thing. Today my best friend is having to put her boxer Holly down. She has cancer and just can’t go any longer..she is 7. A very hard day, so I understand, and my heart goes out to you…I’m sending you a {{hug}} through this e-mail.
So sorry to hear. God bless.
Oh, Jenn, I am so sorry. You left a beautiful tribute to your wondercat here, he was so clearly loved, and those we love are never really gone. Will be thinking of you….
{{{{Hugs}}}}
So sorry to hear about watcher from reading your blog I know how much he means to you. Take care
With tears running down my face – Jenn , I am thinking of you xxx
Jenn, I am so sorry to hear that your beautiful friend has passed. My thought are with you.
So sorry.
We don’t know each other; I found your blog through someone else’s blog while surfing around the amuse website. I saw your cat’s picture and was drawn into your post, only to find myself in tears after reading through it. 20 years is such a blessed life for a cat, and also for you. He was your best friend. I’m sorry that Watcher’s time came, but am glad that you were with him. I have owned cats all my life, and one of the cats I now have has been with me for 12 years now. She’s also the BEST kitty I’ve ever had and every day I thank God for her. May your days ahead be comforted by his sweet memories.
Aloha.
Lisa
jenn-it’s so hard to lose not only your pet, but a dear friend. know that people are thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.
**hugs**
What a wonderful tribute to such a remarkable friend. Sending hugs and letting you know that I always have a shoulder if you need it xoxoxoxo
Jenn,
I’m so sorry! 20 years is such an incredibly long time – it sounds like he had a full life and gave you many great memories.
Thinking of you.
Hugs,
Linda
Jenn-So sorry about your loss & I’m sending hugs your way. As a fellow cat person, I know how special cats are as companions. Your post has brought me to tears…thanks for sharing during your painful time…thinkng of you girl!! BIG HUG!
i’m so sorry for you.
Jenn, I’m so sorry. I hope you meet each other again on the Rainbow Bridge.
Oh, Jenn…I’m so sorry. Know that you’re in my thoughts and prayers.
JENN
i am so sorry that you have to go through this…he loved you so much…you gave him the best…i am always here if you need anything…xoxo christy
i’m so sorry… my uncle’s dog died today. maybe they were there together, running. i love this poem:
The Rainbow Bridge
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
There are meadows, hills and valleys and lush green grass.
There is always food and water, and warm Spring weather.
All of our friends are warm and comfortable, free of fear and worry.
The old, frail animals are young again.
Those who were abused, hurt or maimed are made whole again.
They are happy and content, and they play all day with each other.
There is only one thing missing.
They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth,
someone they had to leave behind.
So, each day they run and play, until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up.
The nose twitches. The ears are up. Their eyes are staring.
And then one suddenly runs from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs running faster and faster.
You have been seen.
And when you and your special friend meet, you cling together in joyous reunion.
You take your pet in your arms and embrace.
Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting friend.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.

Oh Jenn, so sorry to hear about Watcher. Thinking of you…big hugs!
Jen Im so sorry for your loss.my thoughts are with you.
Oh Jenn. *hugs* I’m so sorry!
Love you!
Hi Jenn-
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. What a beautiful post you wrote. It made me get all teary eyed. I am thinking about you during this difficult time. Take it easy. Big hugs.
Oh Jenn, I’m soooo sorry to hear this. No matter how much time you have to prepare, it’s never enough to keep your heart from hurting over losing your baby. You’re so lucky for your day with him and he was lucky to have you to take SUCH good care of him! *hugs*
Sorry but I had to shed a few tears for you and Watcher. Sounds like he had a great life and unfortunately it was time. I am glad you got to spend a few more hours with him. Goodbye Watcher.
Jenn~ I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I loved reading all your stories about him and seeing his pictures; so handsome for sure! My thoughts are with you.
OHHH Jenn, I am sorry sorry to hear the sad news!! Sounds like he was pretty special!!!
Oh, Jenn – I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Watcher was so lucky to have you, and vice versa! Special cats, like special kids, are only given to special people! Take care of yourself … big hugs.
my sympathies.
Sarah
I am so sorry. Your post has me in tears. I can tell how much he meant to you.
I wanted to share my favorite poem with you and know you will be in my thoughts and prayers….
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

Jenn,
It has been a long time since I have seen you…but every once in a while I stop bye to see what new and exciting things you are creating.
Its been a while since I last checked your blog and for some reason I felt the urge to check this evening. I understand why now. I am so sorry for your loss. I understand how difficult it is and how precious your relationship with Watcher has always been. He couldn’t have asked for a better mom.
He will always be by your side, watching out for you and enjoying the sunshine. My thoughts are with you.
there are no words here for you right now, just a hug and a shoulder. love you, bff.
My heart aches for you, Jenn. I know you’ve been keenly aware of his limited time here on earth with you; however, I also know his death in no way diminishes the loss and grief you’re feeling. There’s a big hole now left in your heart that was once filled with the love you and Watcher had for each other. In time, that hole will heal with memories of the times you spent together. Watcher was lucky to have you as his “mom” as were you to have him as your “son.”
I read your blog last week, and saw that you were worried about Watcher, I was hoping he would be okay. I’m sorry to hear that he is gone. I’m glad you were there with him in those last moments, and thank you for sharing all those wonderful memories about him. I just lost one of my cats last Friday, so I definitely feel for you.
jenn i am so sorry about watcher. from all of your great photos of him i can tell he has a wonderful spirit that will watch over you.
Oh Jenn, I’m so sorry to hear your sad news. Thinking of you. (((HUGS)))
Thinking of you and sending hugs. So glad you went home yesterday to be with Watcher. Take care, maryk
Jenn if it helps any Watcher went along with a friend of mine yesterday too. Gray Girl pasted around noon yesterday. I know she was waiting to welcome Watcher into Cat heaven. She will love having a strong friend like Watcher with her. I am glad Watcher got to go with your love surrounding him. You gave him a great gift. Many hugs.
I am so sorry to hear of Watcher’s passing… a huge hug to you my friend.
