RIP Moreno aka Mori

Just said goodbye to the most amazing cat EVER, Moreno aka Mori. Aged 19 years, 14 months, and 20 days he spent 6868 of those days making our lives better, and the lives of so many cats and dogs that Sands and I have helped because of him.

That is 6867 brilliant days, 1 sad day and a lifetime of love – not bad going my friend!

And the numbers don’t stop there:

  • 1 million miles delivering over 12,000 cats and dogs to their new homes
  • Over 3,700 cats re-homed through our project in Spain and Sands ongoing involvement with Cats Protection.

At home he has been a Son, Grandad, Uncle, Boyfriend and Friend to his mother Saidi (RIP), Orla (RIP), Oscar (RIP), Fleur (RIP), Dusky, Oscar, Teo (RIP), Tigra, Sophie (RIP), Tobi, Marti, Tito, Hollie (RIP), Dinky, Cody, Ferdi, Evie, Millie, Xavi and the last one we will adopt Macie.

A lot of cats and dogs have Mori to thank, and in many ways the luckiest is Macie as we said we wouldn’t adopt anyone that hadn’t met Moreno and although she only had a couple of months with him and didn’t see him in his prime (and what a prime it was) she sensed how important he was and always showed him total respect.

We will miss everything about him: the meowing demanding food, water or a snuggle. The way he would tell us to clean the litter tray after he had been the toilet, the midnight snacks on the bed, the feisty way he would let visitors know he was the boss, the way he would let us know it was winter and he wanted the log burner lighting.

This is an hour after we adopted him. Our first snuggle together. Today I wrapped him in the same shirt as we drove to the Vets, and he lay in my arms, wrapped in the shirt as we said our goodbyes and I thanked him one last time for being simply the best.
