This morning I had to put my sweet cat, Chelsea, to rest. At only four years old, she came down with a neurological condition that didn’t bring her much joy day to day. It was hard to say goodbye, but I know she is at peace now.
If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile now, you’ve seen Chelsea’s name appear in a few odd posts, mostly funny quips about her being a lazy intern. 🙂 And although her missteps across my keyboard never resulted in a post, she was my trusty sidekick, always overlooking my work from atop the printer under my warm desk lamp.
Chelsea was superbly sweet, I’ll miss her cuddled at my side every night. I’ll miss her jumping up on the couch and meowing to startle visitors who weren’t expecting her; she loved doing that. And I’ll miss her looks while I work which seemed to say “Really, are we just going to sit in front of the computer tonight?”
When I think of Chelsea, I remember a line from one of my favorite songs: “Those kind of cars don’t pass u every day”. I’ll miss you, sweetheart.

Our condolences. It is hard to lose such a close friend.
Oh no! We’re so sad to hear this. Thanks for sharing with us.
Sorry to hear your little companion and family member has passed
So sorry to hear about your partner in crime… Take care.
I know it’s hard to lose a pet and a companion but you did the right thing.
I am so touched by your tribute to Chelsea. Makes me cry.
I’m so sorry to hear that. Kitties are special creatures.
What a lovely post on Chelsea. It’s hard to lose a furry friend and muse. I can measure my life by my cats.
So sorry to hear! My thoughts (and those of my kitties) are with you and Chelsea!
Wondrful tribute to Chelsea. Sorry for your loss and you know she is at peace now so hopefully over time that brings you comfort. My thoughts are with you both.
Thank you for posting about Chelsea. She reminds me of my black kitty who died 6 years ago. I am so sad for your Sarah.
