Today the forum lost another member & gained an angel as Osiris passed over to Rainbow Bridge this morning at about 10a.m.
He came to us from the rescue on 20th March 2008 along with his previous housemate Penny. His birthday was 1st April 2006 (our April Fool ) & he celebrated his 17th this year. He could be a loving cat but also difficult to handle on occasion as the vets can testify as can his nemesis Lexie, in his opinion she was 1 cat too many in the household since February 2012. He defended his territory from other local cats but would avoid a fight if at all possible tending to be vocal rather than starting a fight. Although visits to the vet with abscesses from cat fights showed he wouldn't back away from them.
He loved the outdoors, that was his personal toilet but could use a litter tray, once we determined the right litter!!! Before this he would at least use the litter mat or the bath if caught short indoors
Over the last 6 months a vet he saw regularly over that period, fell in love with him, apparently he was always talking to the staff when he was kept in the for blood test, ultrasound etc.
I am going to miss him sleeping on the bed with me, although over the last few weeks he's been sleeping on the floor at the foot of the bed. I was not appreciative of going to find him midnight+ when he hadn't come home but I suspect I am going to miss that as he'd always come when called (so long as I was close enough for him to hear!)
RIP Osiris

Now well again with pals (old & new) waiting at Rainbow Bridge, especially Penny & Roman who'll perhaps introduce him to Chloe who left us before he came.
