IMAO has suffered a loss. Unfortunately, Spacemonkey’s Papaw (grandfather) recently passed away.
Lair lost a cat. It’s name was Piper. I would offer condolences, but it’s a cat. Buy another one, dammit! They sell them everywhere. Except for the fur patterns, they all look pretty much alike and all of them do absolutely nothing.
Spacemonkey’s grandpa was a good man, who worked hard his whole life to raise a good family and pass on the values that make Spacemonkey the monkey (or man) that he is today. A result of the love, hard work, praise, correction, and love of God that perfuses the Spacemonkey family to this day.
My condolences go out to Spacemonkey and his family in this time of heartache.
Lair, you know I love you like the Jewish brother I never had. If you need a new cat, I can mail one to you.
Spacemonkey, call me when you get the chance.

Grandparents can be very special people. Sounds like Spacemonkey’s was one of those. My condolences to him and his family. My grandpa (we called him hitler) encouraged me to join the army and kill. He was a good man, even though we called him hitler. Gramma called him hitler, so we thought it was okay. We did not call gramma eva braun however. But I digress, I miss my grandparents as spacemokey will miss his grandpa. Our fond memories of them will keep hin alive forever. Hooo ah!
i’m sorry for your loss spacemonkey.
I’m so sorry for your losses Spacemonkey and Lair.
I shall hoist a pint to him and all the Spacemonkeyses!

May he be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows he’s dead.
my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. I bid you peace love and understanding

Ducky, that was ugly.
Very sorry to hear of your loss, SpaceMonkey. My condolences to you and your family! Sorry to hear about Piper also! I’m a cat guy so I understand how attached one can become to these little guys!
Condolences to both Spacemonkey and Lair.
Spacemonkey, I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather – was he perhaps pictured here (and I ask that with all possible respect, the image I linked to was the first monkey in space that survived the landing)?
And lair – get a dog.

Bah.
I’m sorry.
I kept getting an error message, and could not see the result of my comment posting. I am hanging my head in shame, and I abjectly abase – is there anyway we can clean this up?
Condolences to Lair and Spacemonkey.
And while we’re on the subject, have they found RightWingDuck’s sense of humor? It seems to have gone missing.
To think they say that Catblogging Friday is humor-free…
My condolences…
Er, that last was from me…
WHere’d my name go?
So sorry, Spacemonkey.
So sorry for your loss, Spacemonkey.
SM: my condolences.
RWD: Who buys a friggin cat?!? They GIVE those things away all the time!
Sorry for your loss Spacemonkey. I lost my Grandpa in April and I miss him so much. It sounds like he was cut from the same cloth as your Papaw.
My sympathy to Spacemonkey.
And to RWD I have to say that this bit..

Is the funniest thing I’ve read today.

The part about the cat is the funniest thing I’ve read today. Not the stuff right above that that is very sad about spacemonkey’s loss. That’s not funny.
