Binky
1998 - 2014
Binky went to cat heaven yesterday, happy trails Binky. If ever a cat deserved cat heaven it's definitely Binky. He was our constant companion for the past 16 years. Click this link for the heart warming story "Binky's Stump" about his miraculous survival. Binky was lost in the snow for more than a month and somehow survived. After traumas of snow blindness, frost bite, and near starvation Binky suffered many challenges. He lived through thick and thin and never complained nor did he ask for much but a bit of cuddling and food. Through the years Binky showed us that an unquestioning love of life and those around you is a life well lived. Thanks for the lessons Binky.
Hello Linda:
ReplyDeleteWe are so sad for you. You will miss Binky terribly and he will, as our long gone cats are, always be a part of your lives. Sixteen years is a long time which, somehow, makes it even harder.
It is so difficult to say farewell to our furry friends, especially after so long. Handsome Binky's story of survival is quite remarkable, thank goodness you didn't give up on him. Sending a hug your way, Elaine
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cat! My condolences, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I've ever met a cat I didn't like. Binky is a lovely fellow; what an adventure he had. Good bye, little man.
ReplyDeleteSorry that Binky has passed, and I know you'll miss him, but do cherish his sweet memories.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry about Binky. It's very hard to say goodbye to our loyal pets. It's good that they live on in our hearts forever though.
ReplyDeleteBinky was very much part of your life and you will really miss him. I will re read "Binky's Stump" it was amazing how he battled through and won. He was a great cat. It is wonderful that you have captured such a portrait of him in your writing and with your camera. Kind thoughts and Hugs, Pxx
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. They wind their paws deep into our heart strings - and take a piece of us with them when they go.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Binky. A fitting tribute to read his story. He sounded like a courageous and loving cat. My heartfelt condolences.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Binky. I remember very well the story of "Birky's Stump". I'm sure he's already arrived at Cat Heaven. My condolences, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about Binky passing. He is a beautiful and remarkable cat. I think there is something about the gray tigers-I had one that went through all kinds of things as well. They certainly are special. Hugs to you, I know that this is a very difficult time.
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, I'm so sorry to read about Binky. I'm sorry for your loss. Hugs to you both.

Hi Barbara, thanks, yes their memories live on forever for sure.
Hi Peter, thanks, his story is inspiring to others looking for lost pets I think. I once had a dog return to me after over six months, there is something to be said for not giving up.
Hi Elephant's Child, thanks, they leave a part of themselves with us when they go as well.
Hi Charlene, thanks, so many animals have stories to tell if only they could tell us what they have gone through.
