buck moss came to mind today when i saw one of his old playmates sitting pretty on the fence post.
eating nuts.
i think of my big papa cat quite a lot. mostly of his big floppy cat self lying on his back. dreaming big cat dreams.
hello buck moss, wherever you are. wyatt caught a rat in your honor the other night and brought it inside. i caught mr. rat and put him back outside. it was sort of a 3-ring circus. you would have approved.

Bitter-sweet memories of Buck …and my Rags,Phyllis,BaPendi,Port-o-Poy , and all the rest. I imagine them all in a
jammin’ jazz ensemble in the stars. Singing and swaying for eternity…just waiting for us to get there.
Thanks for the memories of Buck. They make him Immortal.
Peace to you,

Oh Wyatt….she wants Gutermann thread not rodents! Mice I can deal with but a rat…uh uh. I believe I would have looked this gift-cat in the mouth. Perhaps Wyatt is jealous of us???

I just lost my dear friend Chaco…after 13 years together…a beautiful cat who always knew when I needed comforting. The sadness is overwhelming. I hope he is sharing the afterlife with all of your wonderful animal friends…he is in good company…

Awww, your Buck was so beautiful. Looking at his picture still brings tears to my eyes. Makes me think of all my angels, and maybe Buck is frolicking with them in heaven right now – Bubba, Bonnie, Twinkle, Valentina, Bijou, Oscar, and Felix. Gone but never forgotten. As I write this, Susie and Lulu are having a wild run-around, proving that life goes on.

I’m sure he’s still with you, just in a different dimension. RATTTTTS? They freak me out big time. One came up the sewer here a while ago now and I wondered what all the fuss was about. It was me screaming like I was in Hitchcock movie. Not amused. Have fixed the problem – so hope never to see one in my yard again. You. are. brave. xoDonna

Awww, lovely post. I hope Buck is somewhere cool with my old friends, Bertie, Tigger, Crystal, McDuff, Dusty, Bilbo, Frodo, Poppy, Ghia, Cheeky, Ziggy.. so many friends. Meanwhile Fluffybum sends paws for thought as always, to his friends over the Pacific.

Buck is messing with my Amy. I am sure of it. They will have grey white angel kittie babies… It can hurt when an animal goes.
I love what you did with the color samples next to the photographs… More patterns. Yihaa.
I spent my afternoon mono printing… Will share in due time.
Thanks for this post Mary Ann. You gave my summer extra rays!
Helen Long says
Warm hugs MaryAnn. I empathize. ♥

so Wyatt brought you a pressie? I’m assuming you that when you returned said pressie, that you didn’t tell Wyatt. I’m sure he’s wondering why his gift needed to be set free. A life with kitty’s is always, always interesting. I always love seeing Buck in all the past vids. He pops in from time to time, quite the rascal, that one. He has quite a long list of fans and always will. You n Buck were quite a team.

Oh sweet Buck! I think of him also and miss the way he would entertain us during your past e-courses.

I too am glad that Buck Moss still makes regular appearances here. My posse is growing (some of the foster cats end up staying!) but they don’t go outside, so hopefully there is no chance of any of them bringing in a rat – eeeek, ewwww!!
Chrissy says
Hanky out, remembering how you loved him, the little beauty.
Diana says
Mary Ann,
I love that you still post about Buck. He was a gorgeous cat and I know you miss him terribly. He seemed like the ringleader of your posse, as my Buck look-like, Boo, is the ringleader of our three critters. (here’s Boo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/naturegrl64/5112203475/in/set-72157622474406666) Yikes on the rat Wyatt brought in the house! Glad you got it out safely.
