January 17, 2013 • eugeneweekly.com t is with great sadness that I announce the passing of our Precious Doober Kitty, my Beautiful Baby Boy, Elton, who passed from this life peacefully, this past Friday night. Words cannot express the joy and gratitude we feel for having shared in his life. Some of Elton’s talents and hobbies included an ability to be completely present, copious time for snuggling was a hallmark, extreme merriment over all things small and shiny (paperclips were never allowed XQDWWHQGHG ¿QGLQJDZDUPODSSRXQFLQJRQ insects at sunset in the summertime (though never a hunter, I think it may have something to do with the shiny silver things) pawing under a door he wanted open (skills), face on face resting (need I say more), napping for hours on end (sometimes in very odd places) he was a good listener and never tired of my endless I love yous, or to hear yet again, he was the most beautiful boy in the world. He woke early each morning so as to enjoy our time together. He made pies (story for another day) and was patient most always (barring dogs and delayed meal times) purring in my ear as I fell asleep/slept, or anyone who’d let him for that matter (he had genius orchestral purring abilities, sometimes bordering that of a mac truck) he possessed claws he never once used in anger (even given the constant harassment and steady stream of adoration). He was an enthusiastic bather who always made time for a proper mani-pedi. He was quite perfect in every way. Elton was co-founder and President of our “Mutual Admiration Society” from which I have been a benefactor for years. He has kept me company, loved me unconditionally (providing the food thing is covered) helped me transition when our daughter left for college and has basically been a member of our family since adopting him from Greenhill nearly 13 years ago. Elton of course has always had many admirers. If you were lucky enough to stroll past the sidewalk at 21 st and Lincoln whilst he took his “sidewalk time” then chances are, you too could not resist, and thus joined the many (hundreds) who have stopped to greet him, and stroke his baby soft fur, usually while he laid on his back with his feet in the air, completely relaxed, The Zen Buddha Kitty he was. Thank you to our vet Elise from Healing Paws Wellness Center, to the staff of The Emergency Vet Clinic (incredibly empathetic and loving) to our neighbors Dave and Vickie for caring for Elton the times we were away, and to our friends and family for your support and understanding during our time of loss. Elton was preceded in death by his most beautiful brother Mister Mister, and is survived by his family Michelle, Shogan, Natasha, and Little Michelle. We will be observing a minute of silence in Elton’s memory on Sunday at noon and ask you to join us wherever you may be in remembering your special friends and family members. Donations of love can be made in Elton’s memory to anyone who needs it… He would have liked that! ~Elton’s People
