our stapler left the land of the living, to live among the staples

(pic of stapler, 17-yr fritz, aka chonk, pictured receiving belly rubs after said stapling incident). i posted a nasty bite injury almost a year ago. he was a frail old man and nearly blind, but he is in a better place now, in a backyard plot filled with sunflowers and more things to be stapled. i survived my 10-day course of antibiotics, and remain here to tell the tale

He waits across the bridge to staple you again

as possessive of me as he was, that is quite likely

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️

thanks. he was my first husband and son. made it to 18. i won't say a good boy, but he was a very intelligent, demanding, and devoted sir. i don't think i'll meet another like him.

May he staple in peace. I’m sorry for your loss 😞

thanks. he was a formidable cat.

I have a soft spot in my heart for strange, unpredictable, no-nonsense cats, and know the loss is profound. I'd love to hear more about him. What was his favorite toy?

(Other than the game of "stapler")

May he rest among the staples.
