Seeing how close we were made her cry. She now understands why I was so lost when he left. I didn't want a friend ... I wanted my brofur, Bear. Latte will never measure up.

You might wonder what Bear and I talked about with all the time we spent together. He had a lot to teach me in a short amount of time! He passed along the responsibility for taking care of Momma to me. He wanted to be sure she would be okay. Taking care of Momma requires a ton of work and know-how! I wasn't so sure about being promoted, but Bear believed in me. I hope I make him proud.
I love you, Bear. And I miss you. ~Ellie Mae Kat
ps - You were right about Daddy. He has boyties!
pps - I'm taking good care of your catnip banana.
ppps - I have a boyfriend!!! He's as smart as I am!
Do you remember Bear Appreciation Day from Bear has a date!? We updated the graphic and celebrated yesterday, June 5th. How did you celebrate Bear Appreciation Day?

We celebrated Bear Appreciation Day by gathering a clowder of torties in a tank, each wearing a tiara, and we let them blast a flock of tasty whole chickens. Like most of Bear's exploits, it was even messier [and crazier] than it sounds [don't try this at home, trust us!]. Taking a lesson from Bear, we won't apologize!
A throwback in memory of the one-and-only Bear Cat Kat (aka Princess Buttercup Black Bear Cat of the Forest, the Quack Daddy, and B-Cube):

I think it is to be expected that sentient beings miss each other, especially given them being the two cats of the house. People tend to think they dont care, which is far from the truth.
ReplyDeleteOn the 5th we celebrated happy Monday napping day. No tanks needed, though given the new neighbour cats a big one might have helped. I'm sure Bear would have had a few words to add, too! 😉

Oh! Napping day! We celebrate that every day! ~Ellie Mae
DeleteI'm smiling big time. I so remember Bear and his Rule in the Household. And his interaction with Ellie...AND their phones and what they ordered, said and did!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Despite their different perspectives, they clicked!
DeleteEllie and Bear were very close, and in spite of all his insults he did love her.
ReplyDeleteHe most certainly did. Whenever Bear and I were cuddling and Ellie called for him, he'd go running. It kind of irritated me at the time ... but now I'm happy that he was there for her too.
DeleteEllie
ReplyDeleteBear surely paved the way to your Mama's heart for you and Latte...We all know we pick on those we love the most
He was such a kind kitty
Hugs Cecilia
Except for when he called me Smellie ... but I ALMOST have forgotten about that. ~Ellie Mae
DeleteLove seeing Bear and Ellie Mae. He is unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is. ~Ellie Mae
DeleteSweet tribute to 'Bear' and Ellie Mae am sure is missing her 'fur buddy' ~ it hurts to lose our fur babies ~ Xo

Yes, it does ... for felines and humans alike.
DeleteThat was such a nice bunch of photos Ellie and I do think that Bear is very proud of you. You are taking good care of your Momma!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard work! But I think I'm doing okay! ~Ellie Mae
DeleteOh my goodness this is so sweet. Bear is very proud of you, Ellie.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom cried when she saw so many of these pictures of us together. She totally missed how close we were! ~Ellie Mae
DeleteBear was a good brother.
ReplyDeleteYes, he really was. ~Ellie Mae
DeleteThis is so, so beautiful. We know you and Bear were very close, Ellie. Especially now that your Momma shared these wonderful photos. Bear is definitely proud of you, sweet girl. XO
ReplyDeleteI hope so. ~Ellie Mae
DeleteWe are LATE! We did not remember Bear Appreciation Day until we read the post! Bear was a special Man Cat that all us Great Man Cats strive to live up to!
ReplyDeleteWe are sorry we missed the speacil day. Mom knows how the befores not only affect the Peeps who live them but the other furblings too. Keep being awesome Ellie Mae! Purrs marvelous Marv
{blushing} Well, thanks, Marv! I WILL keep being awesome! ~Ellie Mae
DeleteI know losing yoor brofur Bear still hurts yoor heart. Losses at our house continue to hurt years later. We light a blessed candle on their birthdays and angelversaries to remember the good times we were blessed with. Love, Dori
ReplyDeleteI even miss him calling me Smellie! ~Ellie Mae
DeleteAMARULA: Bear was the best and I really miss him too!
ReplyDeleteThere's something we can agree on! ~Ellie Mae
DeleteAww, Woodrow is sending you a big hug and kiss, Ellie!
ReplyDeleteKiss?!? {Blushing} ~Ellie Mae
DeleteAww, seeing those pics is so touching (with apologies for commenting so late after the fact-have been traveling and apparently the only souvenir I brought back from Hawaii was a nasty head cold). We all miss Bear but know you're taking care of your mama well. 😻
ReplyDeleteIt's hard work! Bear didn't tell me that! ~Ellie Mae
DeleteBear would have loved Ellie's ppps and would not have stopped laughing or ribbing her about it. Ellie, Giulietta never stopped missing her sisfur, Fiona. Some bonds are just too strong. And we know your mom will never stop missing or loving him. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, angel Mauricio, Misty May, angel Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Sawyer, Kizmet, Audrey & Raleigh
ReplyDeleteHis personality just took up so much "space," that feels like a black hole now. ~Ellie Mae
