Goodbye to a Modeling Buddy
A month ago today, my wife and I had to say goodbye to our oldest cat, Checkers. At age 16, his body was worn out.
We got Checkers shortly before I joined this forum; in fact, his name was my first password on the site. And he had "involvement"- of a sort- in my card modeling, which made its way onto the forum several times. An insatiably curious little beast, it seemed that if I sat down to work on something, he HAD to know what it was. He'd leap onto my work surface and start poking his nose into everything. He was very dexterous; he always wanted to handle parts or assemblies with his mouth or paws, forcing reprints on several occasions. I miss him terribly. He was so much fun and such a huge presence in our home. Here, in honor of his "contributions", are photos of his guest appearances on this forum- holding down parts for me with his paws, judging my skills as I build a CT Ertz ironclad, and posing with a Finger and Toe western building and a Best Paper Models torpedo boat.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mine are getting close to that age, too. My little Bootsie spends most of her time in the basement these days. I check on her several times a day, just to make sure she is comfortable (and breathing).

Sorry to hear that Bart. Modeling buddies are a part of family, and are missed as such.

So sorry for your loss Wyvern. I once had a male cat named Corky. Just like Checkers, he was into everything, and always by my side when I worked on a model. So cute, I had trouble staying angry with him when he destroyed one of my projects, that was back in the day before you could just print out another one. I had to let him go when he was 17. I still miss him. My best advice, find another kitty that needs a home and someone like you to love.

Sorry to hear this. My cat, Mochi, is constantly helping me with my models too. He seems to look forward to it.
Keep remembering Checkers! Dan |
