Wordless Wednesday — In Memory of Minou

Minou — you will be missed.

Updated: I should add that Minou was my in law’s cat, not ours personally. But my husband and our kids loved him dearly! Because I am allergic to cats, Minou was the closest my family could get to having our own.

P.S. To answer Neisha’s question, ‘Minou’ means ‘pussycat’ in French. My husband’s family is from Quebec.

Now it’s your turn… add your Wordless Wednesday link below.

  3. I’m so sorry. We lost one of our cats to kidney failure at age 21 a few years back.
    It’s always hard to loose our furry friends.

  6. Our 8 year old lab died shortly after I started blogging, so there is quite a lengthy tribute to our dear Bandit recorded for posterity on my blog. He was such a great dog!

    So sorry for your loss.

  14. It is so sad when you lose a pet, we just lost our beloved Blackie, a black Lab, in January. He was 12 years old and very loved.

    Sorry about your family’s loss.

  23. You, your family and in-laws have my deepest sympathy over the passing of Minou. I have 7 cats and they are part of the family. A part of your heart will be missing, I know I lost one during the winter and I still grieve daily. Mine looked a lot like Minou. Hugs, Sheree

  24. Sorry to hear about your in-laws cat. I know it’s hard to lose a pet — we lost our beloved boston 6 years ago and still to this day my kids talk about him. TFS

  25. What a beautiful cat! I’m so sorry. She reminds me of the one I grew up with…the one my brother and I conned my mom into keeping because we thought she was pregnant. It turned out that she was a really popular (well-fed) stray!

  37. Oh! That looks just like my beloved Blossom that I had to put down when she developed an anxiety disorder in the middle of our move (5 years ago). What a pretty face. I’m sorry for you, your folks’, and your kids’ loss – it’s a sad thing for all.

  86. Sorry about your kitty! My kitty is 17 years old and very very very skinny. He’s so boney, but he’s still got spunk!! It’s amazing how he looks at his age and what he can still do. I’m not looking forward to the day he’s not with us.
