1 Bose - AKA Mr. Bose, Bozo, Big ol' Bose, Bowling Ball Bose. He had many names. He was a purebred Russian Blue. He left us on January 26, 2008 . . . but will live forever in our hearts.
2 “My Little Cat Ghost” - Lynette Combs - The years I’ve worn you, Warm upon my shoulder, ended here… surprised to find us older.
And there was nothing left to do today but hold you close and help you on your way.
Be still, my little cat. Be well; be free. I know that you’re somewhere near, and loving me.
3 "We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan." -- Irving Townsend.
4 Bose was larger than life. What a wonderful cat.
5 Bose as a young cat. Yes, he is asleep, here. Cats are such contortionists.
