For almost two months, Sir Elton has been very sick. After running numerous tests, he was finally diagnosed with colon cancer; a cancer that was getting increasingly worse and painful for him.
We had to make the very difficult, heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our little friend this week.
Sir Elton was a regal, royal, proud cat. He was beautiful, unique and friendly – in his own independent way. He enjoyed watching television, bird watching and sleeping on the plush blanket.
Elton was the gift I never knew I needed until I met him. Apart of me died with him. But I wholeheartedly believe his warmth stays with us, and his spirit lives on.
You will be forever in my heart, Sir Elton. Not a day in my life will go by that I won’t think of you. Thank you for spending this time with us, with me. I love you.
“I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep. I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear. ‘It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.’” (“I Walk with You,” author unknown)

” To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.”
Our sweet Elton , in our hearts is where you shall forever be.
Til we meet again at Rainbow Bridge . Rest in peace my sweet little friend. </3
A perfect quote to sum up our wonderful companion
To our regal wonderful friend , our hearts are breaking. To think of life without you in it is too painful for words.
We love you and will never forget you. God rest your soul. </3
It is indeed too painful sometimes, but he brought much joy to all those around him.
Oh my, Emily. I can just imagine your grief after seeing these loving images of Sir Elton. Thanks for sharing your loss but also the wonder of him to your family. I especially love the last image with your mom and dad!
It feels just like yesterday we took that picture, Ginnie. It is crazy how time just slips away and we have to say goodbye to our dear friends.
i’m so very sorry he died
it never gets easier to watch as death claims those we love
It never gets easier, you’re right. But i will remember all the joy he brought to our lives for some comfort.

Thank you, Peter. I would hope he did enjoy his time with us.
Dear Elton will be truly missed. He touched many hearts during the time he spent with us.
He did touch our hearts, and made a house a home. I feel blessed to have had him in my life, even for this short while.
