......will one day falter.

I'm afraid that Seniorboy died late this afternoon. At the vet's. I have some very very fine whisky waiting to salute him with and I am just going to go and light a candle for him. I probably won't be around for a few days - or if I am, you'll have to bear with some rather tipsy posting.

My Darling old lad.

So sorry! He was a beautiful boy xxx

I'm so sorry cozie, he was a gorgeous boy. The Litter Tray won't be the same without him

Run free at the Rainbow Bridge Seniorboy

Oh no Truly sorry to hear this.

You were one of the first to comment on my post when I lost my beloved Siamese in a RTA last year and I was, still am, utterly heartbroken.

22.3, what a trooper. He was a beautiful boy cozie.

Try and keep yourself busy the next few days, it's a difficult time x

He just seemed to 'go over a cliff', Fun. One day he was himself and the next day, everything failed. Age I imagine.

Oh Cozie, Im so terribly sorry he's gone. Im devastated for you. As someone else has already said he was MN royalty. I've had Siamese/Orientals for a long time and they are so much more than a cat.
That's a beautiful picture of him, he was stunning.

to Seniorboy, run free and may you always find a sunny spot.

For you Cozie

I have to execute his will within the next few days. And I happen to know that his two favourite charities (Siamese rescues and welfare) have large numbers of boys needing homes. I'm filled with trepidation.

Very sorry to hear about Seniorboy, he was a legend.

I'm am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. Beautiful boy. That's what happened to my girl at 19. She was fine and then she wasn't. So sad.
I am smiling a little though that even when he has passed over the rainbow bridge you are still bending to his "will"! His influence lives on.
RIP gorgeous puss.
And Cozie.

You posted a photo of him 'catching some rays' a few days ago cozie. He was clearly a very contented old fella .

Aww. RIP Seniorboy. I feel like I knew him through your posts here - your love for him has always shone through.

There's no whisky emoticon but enjoy raising your glass, cozie, you've been a faithful servant to his Siamese whims. Perhaps your mum is stroking him even now.

I'll be forever glad he got those rays.

I'm so sorry Cozie, he loved you very much & you went above & beyond for that boy.

I could never imagine him going, I thought he'd be the worlds oldest Siamese.

Such a void to fill.

Oh cozie senior boy was legendary around these parts.

massive hugs.

Well Newboy - whomsoever he may be - has some big boots to fill right enough.

I'm so sorry, it's so painful, thinking of you xxxxx

Death is gone, Mermaid. I've had a great deal of it.

I can't tell you how sad I was to read this Cozie. I feel like I know Seniorboy from all your lovely posts. I will raise a glass to him myself tonight.

Oh Cozie...what an incredibly sad post to read , your darling boy and the link to your parents
RIP Seniorboy ...

Very sad to read this. I don't post much but always liked reading about him.

God bless lovely boy

I hope that cat heaven is filled with sunny spots and electric heated cushions and blankets. Thankyou for making us smile beautiful boy.

I am so sorry to hear this. What a beautiful boy he was and an amazing character. I have never known as cat as old as he was. He must have had wonderful care from you. I have also recently lost my old lady ex rescue cat Molly, who was nearly 20. I had her from when she was 5. I miss her but it was an easy decision to have her put to sleep, and I feel OK about it. This is the last picture of her. Thinking of you tonight.

Legend Cat. Sorry to hear he's gone. You always offer support and comfort on here for other people's catty losses- I hope you'll take the same from this thread.

Thanks, GRW. And a salute to Molly.

I am actually surprisingly calm. Maybe the whisky is helping, who knows? It was his time, though.

Oh Cozie I am so desperately sorry for you. I will be thinking of you all tonight, as will Mr C, you are not alone.

Good night sweet prince, good night, good night. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Seniorboy was a true idol among everyone who ever loved a cat - ie everyone with brains - and he deserved it. Magisterial in his furriness and elegant in his way of life - he knew how to live, that prince among felines. He is an inspiration to us all.

Most of all though, he lived a life entirely made of love. Because of you. Your achievement did not die today, and it never can - you have given him a fantastic life which lasted until he was 22. Seniorboy is phenomenal and so are you.

Seniorboy went out into a sunbeam moments ago - in life, and for all we know. in death as well. If there is a heaven, he is up there right now. I never cry, but I'm howling - darling Seniorboy, have fun in heaven and don't bite the angels' toes.

Cozie please take a moment to think of how brilliant you were with him and how much he loved you. 22 years that beat the odds, years that your love and care for him triumphed over the daily run of illness, boredom and even mortality. But even for Seniorboy, immortality was a bridge too far, and I guess we should accept that as he has.

I know Seniorboy is dead, and tears are running down my face like a burst water main to testify to that, but that doesn't mean he isn't amazing.

Some bits of the self can never die, and Seniorboy will live in a bit of all of us forever. Dearest Cozie, I wish I could be with you now to support you through the dark night of grief. Please be kind to yourself and have several strong drinks for tonight at least. I hope you are not alone.
