Rest In Peace TeeTee

Rosie’s cat, Tippy Two (aka TeeTee, Tippy, Teepee) died on Thursday. We’re not sure what happened to him, but he was found by our neighbours lying on the pavers around their pool. At first they just thought he was enjoying the sun, because he was stretched out and looked like he was asleep. However, when they returned later in the afternoon and he was still laying there, in the same position, they decided to check it out and found that he was dead.

Mum and Helen collected his body, and he was taken down to the vets last night because the ground near our house was too hard to dig the hole to bury him. That made me sad, because if he wasn’t going to be buried here, he should have at least been buried near DeeDee out at Lauren & Nathan’s place. I would have been so distraught had DeeDee not been able to be buried, not to actually have someplace that I knew I could go and visit him, and somewhere to put the little stone that Lauren painted for him. Rosie should paint a stone and put it by DeeDee’s at Lauren & Nathan’s house.

Rosie and TeeTee suited each other well. TeeTee, being black and white, was the ideal emo/scene cat. He was aloof and effortlessly cool. Rosie is aloof and makes an effort to be cool. She learned all her best tricks from him, such as curling up into a circle to sleep in the sun, walking around like you own the place and everyone else is just hanging around while you tolerate them. He was a beautiful cat, the prettiest out of all our cats, and he had the sleekest black fur you can imagine.

Rest In Peace TeeTee, I hope that you didn’t suffer, and that somewhere in the afterlife you’re hanging out with DeeDee and keeping each other company.
