Oh, no. This is awful and hard news. We are so, so sorry. We don't know what to say, we will miss Eric so much. He was a one in a million guy, an icon in the Cat Blogosphere. We only wish there was some way we could take the pain for you.
Sending you purrs and love from all of us, and Mommy Trish {{hugs}} xx
Mommie's eyes are leaking as she reads this. We loved Eric. Before we started blogging - and was just lurking - Mommie had a bad back injury that required her to be in bed all day. Eric's blog was one of a handful of blogs that she knew would make her laugh each day. I know this does not help much, but please know that Eric was a very loved cat and will be very missed.
Oh no no no. I love Eric and Flynn and my heart is broken too. I am so so sorry. I never expected to learn this terrible news. It is such a shock.
Love and purrs and warmest hugs. I know Eric felt the love every day from you both. He had a life of love and happiness. I wish I could make all of this nightmare go away. But you did the best you were able for him.
Oh no. We are so sorry to hear that your sweet Eric has gone to the Bridge. We were hoping, wishing, purring and praying that there would be a happier outcome to his recent health woes.
Thank you for loving him so very much, and for sharing him with all of us.
We do not even know what to say. Our thoughts to you. And what a great mancat Eric was. We shall miss him from over here. And our hearts break for poor Flynn as well as all of you loosing him.

We are heartbroken by this news. We've loved Eric and Flynn ever since we first read their blog,many years ago.Grandma especially loved looking at photos of the Ginger boys at the Devon farm,since she is English. Please cuddle Flynn extra close over the next few days and you are all in our prayers. Clancy,Cupcake and Kate
We are so sad to hear that Eric has run off to the bridge...we no that Flynn will be heartbroken, as well as you beans too. You were all one of our first furriends and we are sure that scooter and skeeter were there to welcome him...
We miss evry cat that goes over the Bridge. Some we know better than others. We will miss Eric very very much. He was a champion mouser, tummier, and all-around superb cat! There will not be another like him
We know that Eric is healthy and happy over the Bridge by now and that his permanent life is just starting with our own Over-TheBridges sibs here and all the others.
So our thoughts turn to you still here. We purr for Flynn to understand that his dear brofur is relieved of his trubbles. We purr that his Beins will be comforted by Flynn and all of us.
My heart went to my throat when I just read the news. I am in shock and deeply saddened. I so enjoyed Eric's adventures with Flynn, his tummy, his sweet and precious face. I don't even have the words to convey how badly my heart is hurting. I wish I knew the right words. Please send extra kisses to Flynn who has to be hurting as well and to your beautiful family. We love you and share in your pain xoxoxo
We haven't blogged in over a month, but Teri told us this morning that Eric was very sick and we were sad...Tonight we read that he has crossed the bridge and we feel our hearts squeeze tight with tears and sorrow.
We will always remember the boys together and smile when we think of Eric rolling in pheasant poop or 'leaving his calling card' anointing heather and gorse, hahameow.
See, we smile even though we are sad because we know how dearly he was loved by his Mum and Dad. Hug each other now and just know how fortunate you were to have him in your life...
And we thank you for sharing that life with us...Eric and Flynn have become such a part of our Curly Swirly life and made us happy to see them both enjoying farm life, something we can only imagine!
Fly Free Handsome Orangey and White Mancat...We will miss you furrever, too...
We can only imagine how your hearts must ache at this time. Eric is so special, beloved by so many. We will always share your love for him and he will never be forgotten.
Loving purrs to you both and to Flynn. May sweet memories of Eric bring you comfort as you mourn....
Eric, all of our eyes, including, Tommy's are so leaky tonight. We can't believe it. We know Eric feels so good running all over the Bridge--i am sure you're hanging out with our Perry, and maybe sitting on the lap of Tommy's daddy, who likes cats :)
Our heart pours out to you, Eric and your family. We hope Flynn is OK.
And we know, on a quiet night, when everything is still...there will a familiar sound-a purr-you. Your family will smile and know you are fine.
Our hearts are broken this evening. Fly free dear Eric! We just know the first thing you're going to do is mark some territory up there, then roll in the lush green grass and warm sunshine. (((hugs))) to all of you, special hugs to Dad. You two really were special together. Flynn you've lost a brother and a soulmate. Special hugs to you, dear friend. xxxooo

I am totally numb with tears streaming down my face. All the adventures we have shared with you and Flynn, we can't believe you flew away to the Bridge Eric. But we know you are hunting mousies and climbing trees and rolling in lots of dirt hills. Eric we miss you more than mere words can express and we are so very very sad to know you've gone. Jackie we know with time all the love you shared with Eric will help heal your broken heart. We know Eric's Dad is also very heartbroken and our purrs go out to both of you. We will keep all of you in our prayers.
Oh no! Our hearts are broken and we are all crying so hard right now. We loved Eric like he was our own. We are sending lots of (((hugs))) and love to all of you.

We are all so sorry about Eric. Moments ago China Cat had just climbed on my lap, I took a look at FB and saw that Sweet Eric had gone to the Rainbow Bridge. China Cat is now wet with tears and we are all just sending over prayers for both of you and for Flynn. We know you will all be with each other at such a sad time. Eric & Flynn were among the first CB Friends we met and we always loved the boys stories and adventures at the farm.

All who knew him will miss him terribly. Eric's loved ones left behind are in our prayers. It won't be the same without him. He has left a hole in our hearts.
We're so sorry to hear that Eric has gone to the Bridge. We loved him so much and will really miss him. We know you must be hurting so much and we're sending healing purrs and prayers to you at this sad time.
Oh, cod, no. We are just heartbroken with this news but know it's not even close to what you and Eric's dad and Flynn must feel. We will never forget how he delighted and entertained us.
Purrs to you all in this sad time. And Flynn, please know that Eric will watch over you from the other side.
Oh my gosh! We can't believe that Eric has crossed over. This is way too sad for efurrybody to absorb. We know that Flynn will be missing his brother, and Jackie and Ivor will be missing their baby. This is very disturbing news. Many hugs, purrs, and purrayers are being sent to you from all of us here at Forty Paws.
We are so very sad. Eric is a blogosphere legend, and a hero for us as he inspected mouseholes, braved badger burrows and always, always stood proud while he peed. We are so very sorry that he is no longer here and wish we could comfort you somehow. There are too many empty spaces in our homes right now. We send loads of love to you - Mum and Dad as we know your hearts are cut open. And huge nose nuzzles to Flynn. Please give him all the hugs and tummy tickles he wants from us. With loads of love. Punapippuri & pere, and a very tearful Äiti

We are just sick with sadness. Words can not express how much we love both Eric and Flynn and the though of Eric flying off to The Bridge leaves us leaky eyed and meowless. Jonesie is devastated. She so admired Eric's farming skills...not mere garden skills.
Sending you the most comforting purrs we can purr.
Spitty and I send you sooooo many rumbly purrs and sooooo much love. Your Boy had everything a kitty could want: People who loved him, a wonderful place to live, a great playmate. You gave him the best life a Kitty could dream of. There's a big Eric-sized hole in the world tonight, and in your hearts. We are sorry for your loss. XOXOXOXO
Our mom has leaky eyes and we are very sad to hear about Eric. We know Angel Sweet Praline was there to greet him when he arrived at the bridge. We're sending our biggest comforting purrs.
Oh no! We're so sorry. Eric was such a wonderful boy. We'll miss him terribly. Our hearts are with you at this difficult time. Ellen, Target and Guido.
We are all having leaky eyes at hearing the sad news of Erics' passing. He seemed to be having such a turn around for the better these past couple of weeks, clinbing trees & haybales, mousing in the fields and taking walks with you out to the barH. Eric lived life to the fullest almost to the end. I am so glad he had those few weeks where he had the energy to act like a young ginger Mancat. Your posts gave Eric a voice & allowed us to know him well. We will remember Eric for the charming and chatty boy he was. I know that you both are so sadden & it will be tough for you & Flynn to adjust, but remember Eric would not want you to be sad for too long. He would want you to remember what a terrific Mom & Dad you were to him, the good times and tell you what a grand life you gave him in the beautiful mousie-filled hills of Devon with his dear brother Flynn. RPI my friend Eric, you were as good as they come.
O Eric we is so sad you had to go be an angel already. Our eyes is all leaking. Mommy lighted a candle fur your journey. All us Hotties luvs you and Flynn and your Mommy n Daddy and we always will. I will come sit on a cloud wif you a'fore too long and we can watch over our sisfur and our brofurs and our peoples and be great angels together. I know you is a great angel, Eric. We is sending lots and lots of loves and purrs. *smooch on da noze* Sanjee and tha resta tha Hotties and Mom Robyn
We came as soon as we heard! We are so so so sorry to hear this. Our hearts are breaking right along with yours, and mommy's got the leaky eyes for precious Eric.
Mom wants us to tell you if you need anything, please drop us a line via a comment or an e-mail.

Oh no... I am so sorry... I know how hard it is to say goodbye to an amazing man like Eric. He was such a sweet and special mancat and he will always be loved and missed. I know that he is at the bridge smiling down at all of you sending his love. I also know that Alex was there to welcome him and show him the way.... I am so sorry...
Oh Jackie, I just heard the news and I am so so sorry. I can barely write, I am crying so hard. We are all sending gigangic hugs to all three of you. Poor Flynn must be undone. All of you will be in our thoughts and prayers. It is just way too sad. He certainly was an icon of the blogosphere.
OUr hearts go out to you and to Flynn. We will miss your sweet Eric so much, he was one of the icons of the blogosphere. So so so sorry. We hope your memories will be a great help, and even reading this wonderful blog, which has immortalized him in many ways.

The Boyz and I are so sorry Eric had to cross the bridge. It is never easy when special and deeply loved ones souls depart. What a blessing to share in his life for so many years.

It will never be the same, Eric was special and will be in our hearts forever. Our love and prayers are with you and huggs to Flynn. Holly and, Toy, Tinker, Tang, TyGr, Teak, Thomas, Setzer, and ICE

I always looked in on Eric and Flynn's Adventures, each day, every morning. I loved to see them roam their beautiful Devonshire countryside, always together. Flynn will be so lonely without his brother, and everyone there must be feeling great pain. My thoughts are with you.
Eric, you will be sorely missed. We never commented, but yours and Flynn's blog was the first thing we read with Mum every morning. We loved your adventures so much, boys. Our hearts are broken and eyes are leaking. Rest in peace, sweetest Eric. ;_;
We and Mom are as heartbroken as we would be if Eric had been one of our housemates. What a beautiful and spunky guy he was despite his health problems. We also loved reading about he and Flynn's adventures everyday. We know you will hold him in your heart and memories forever as will we. No matter how sick a kitty is, it is always a shock when they leave us. Mommy says she feels as if someone is squeezing her heart. She knows it can't be nearly as bad as you feel. Please tell Flynn we will continue to visit him and that all of you are in our prayers. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at www.thecatonmyhead.com, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Mauricio, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
We were sad to hear that your beloved Eric has gone to the Rainbow bridge. We are certain that our angel Lewis and many others were there waiting for him to show him the ropes and to make sure he arrived safely.

Oh no, please no. Please dear God, make this devastating news not be true. We are crushed to know that our Eric has gone to the bridge. We are overcome with grief. Eric was an extraordinary cat. One look at his amazing face could tell you that and we fell in love with him from the moment we met him. Eric was loved the world over and that love will never die. Eric will be in our hearts forever. Every green field, every blue sky, every oak tr ee will bring Eric back to us. His loving spirit will be with us to comfort us in those dark, difficult times when we feel we just can't go on. You gave him a wonderful, enviable life and he gave back what he received. Poor little Flynnie, our hearts break for him. We send you our condolences and all of our love to you as you face this this terrible loss. Kari, Gran and the cats. P.S. Our special candle is burning brightly for Eric.
and as each one made the journey along the bridge to heaven; they could see and here just ahead; the voices and faces of friends and loved ones who had gone before
they tried ever so hard not to look back, realizing they would see the tears on the cheeks, and hear the cries of the family and friends that were being left behind.
Then God said welcome to my home Sauce, welcome to my home Eric, and the two friends met at the threshold of rainbow bridge
Neither were no longer afraid, and they both turned and tossed all their pain and suffering to the wind, and entered the kingdom of heaven, to await those left behind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my sincerest sympathies and I hope Flynn will be alright
I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know about your blog until I heard the sad news from Zoolatry. Just been looking back over the pictures and adventures of Eric and Flynn. Looks like Eric had a wonderful life with you. I can imagine what a hole his departure has left in your life.
We are so sad about this. We have been reading your adventures every day for years. Eric is so loved and so lucky to have the life he did. Chasing mousies and frolicking in the country side. We wish you both and Flynn the best in this time of grief.
Oh no, Jackie and Ivor and Flynn, I can't tell you how devastating this terrible news was to hear; I loved your boy too and was stunned to read sweet, handsome Eric left for the Bridge=he will be missed by so many from the CB who loved him very much...My sincere condolences over this incredible loss in your family, wishing you all comfort at this sad time...May the love of God surround you during this time of sorrow; I will keep you all in my prayers...Love never dies and I know that the love you guys shared with precious Eric will live in your hearts forever...Eric and Flynn captured my heart from the beginning and with great sadness I have added your wonderful boy to our Angel page; he was so very special and I will never forget your lovable sweetheart...Sending big hugs to you both, dear friends, extra kisses for darling Flynn...J, Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
Oh my... I´m crying! Eric is part of our lives. Every day, religiously, I come here to see the adventures of these two loved ones. I'm sad, very sad. I wish for you peace and serenity. RIP sweet and lovely Eric.
Miss Kitty and Mum are sooo sad! We miss Eric already. Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your dear sweet Eric. May you find solace in the memories you shared with Him in you lives! You & Yours', expecially Flynn, we hold in our thoughts and prayers! Many Purrs, Kitty & Mummy
We are devastated by the loss of dear and much loved Eric and send hugs of comfort to you, your family and Flynn. Please know that cat community is here for you 100% and if I can help with anything else, let me know via email.
Oh my God. I am so sorry. My heart is breaking for you. I am so sorry to hear that. I was just telling my husband about him yesterday. You and Eric and Flynn are so dear to me. You were the first to invite me into the cat blogging community, esp. of gingers, and I will never forget that. Please know you and your husband and Flynn are all in my prayers and loving thoughts today. I am so very sorry.
Sweet Eric, we are so sad hearing that you had to run off to the bridge. You were much loved by so many and will be terribly missed. Until we meet again...run free. Purrs and hugs.
Oh Nos! Me is at a loss for words. We sends Flynn and Mommy and Daddy our purrayers and condolences. And wes hopes Eric is happily hunting mices while they waits at the bridge Kisses Nellie and Kozmo and the hairy slobbery sisters Bob and Cinnamon and Mommy
No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!! This is just too painful!! We didn't know you Eric and are, in fact, just meeting you today, but we are terribly saddened that such a gorgeous, handsome, sweet hunk of mancat has left us. You with your perfect face and 'come kiss me' eyes...gone over the Bridge. We are also sad because there have been too many passing the bridge lately and we think that it is high time for this trend to stop!! We are too late to purr for you, but know that we are now purring for your Mom and Dad. We know your pain. We do. Mom cries all the time over our Lolo/Lautrec who crossed the Bridge over a year ago...we try to sooth her pain, but, well, love is a hard thing and only time can heal that...if it ever really can heal it. We send you lots of purrs, headbutts and tailwags as well as many gentle kisses. All of us at WeezDaBadCats and DaMeenDawgs...Tiny, Ellwood, Ginger, Elioth and Chouchou...and our Mom.
We first read about sweet Eric leaving for The Bridge on Facebbok. We have 'known' him for so, so long and will miss him terribly. Sending purrs and prayers for Flynn and of course Mom and Dad.
hey sweet fambly, just met Eric at the bridge. He's going to get his furs done and nails... then he gets to go where every sick kitty goes when they first get here to get to choose how they live here OTRB. some wanna be big kittehs still, some wanna be lean, mean killin' machines. as soon as he gets done there, Sniffie, Inigo and I will take him to his new mansion. We offered to let him stay here but once he heard where the mansion is, he said he just had to get there! It's out in the middle of the nip field, so secluded, he's got nip field on one side, woods on the other. There's so much hunting to be done, he's going to be one busy mancat! we fink he gonna take over being the hunter trainer for new arrivals that never got to hunt when they were on Planet Purrth. His welcoming banquet will be tomorrow, so that he has time to get settled in a little first. we know you are sad, but don't mourn too long. your boy has arrived safe and will be prepping his mansion for all sorts of new adventures! and we know, many many years down the road, when Flynn joins him, he will be right there to show off their home. Me and my fursibs will install his purrsonal reflecting pond this evening so if he doesn't want to join everyone at the communal reflecting pond he doesn't have to. *angel smoochies* for the fambly left behind
Oh, no! We are so sad to come here today and learn that sweet Eric has gone to the Bridge. Rest in peace sweet Eric we are going to miss you terribly. We are thinking of you all and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, hugs and nose kisses
NO!! Momma and I are so sad to hear this, we has been thinking of Eric ever since he had not been doing well. All of you are in our hearts and thoughts! We know you are all heart broken, Eric loves you and knows he was so loved by you and many people all over the world. Hold on to your wonderful memories, he is enjoying a lovely field forever now but is always with you! Purrrrrrs and HUGS
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your wonderful boy. Eric was one of our first friends we met when we started blogging and the CB has lost a great cat.
We are just now seeing this and are heartbroken and shocked! Eric and Flynn were some of the first cats we met when we started blogging and have considered you all fast friends. Eric, I am so saddened that you have left us. I am sending comforting purrs to Flynn and the beans today. I pray that you will find some comfort in all the comments and knowing how well loved Eric is by all. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. RIP sweet boy
Hi -- It's Kim from Pearl's blog...long ago. I just thought I'd let you know that Pumpkin also died on Saturday, March 2nd. He was a ginger boy like yours.
I know how you feel. They leave such a hole in our lives. I loved him so much.
We are sending our heartfelt purrs of condolences. Eric's death comes unexpected and sudden. The only good thing about it is that he didn't suffer for months and months without end. He had a great life with you, roaming the green pastures, hunting for mousies... such a lucky mancat.
The tears they are flowing and the love we send your way. Mum and dad and I send so much love and caring to your mum and dad and to Flynn too. We love and miss you Eric.. Run free sweet friend.. Hugs GJ Carol and Barrie xx
We are horribly late in expressing our sadness at the news of Eric's trip to The Bridge. We love you guys & we're sending quiet purrs from me & all my sibs & my MomKatt to you, Eric, and your furramily.
I am so deeply saddened to hear of your loss, words fail. You are all in my prayers and I have sent a prayer to Andy Panda Pants, Munchkin, Xena and all of our babies there at the bridge to look after sweet sweet Eric.
Oh no -- so many people are so sad about Eric's passing and your sorrow. And now I see he was young. So, so sorry. I wish we had known him better but we never did find our way here. Thanks to Rumbles for bringing us here.
I just saw the email about Eric and I was shocked. I am SO very sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet boy. I am glad to have known Eric and become friends over the past few years. Our thoughts are with you all.
This is so very sad - Rest in Peace, dear Eric. We know that as you run free in the Elysian Fields, you will be watching over all your family, especially your beloved brofur, Flynn.
Flynn, Jackie and Ivor, our thoughts are with you at this terrible time and we are sending gentle purrs of consolation to you all. Purrs ... Rainbow
Still can't get Eric out of my mind so had to post again. We loved his beautifully colored nose splattered with ginger. He looked human-like. And we will always remember him as surrounded by the green grass of the fields. Your blog still captures both Eric and Flynn's colors so perfectly. Hoping you are all feeling the love and prayers from everyone and that it's making you feel just a tad bit better today and more every day. Blessings, Brenda, Beau Beau and Angie
I am very sorry to read of your loss. So many people have offered wonderful and beautiful sentiments, and so I'll simply say that my heart hurts for you. What a wonderful life you've provided to a sweet, darling baby. May the memory of his love be with you in these very difficult days. Thank you for sharing him with us. Peace. Laura and the Squeedunk Cats.
We are so so truly sorry about this :( Eric has been our very good and great friend!! So hard to believe he is away. Dear Eric, we will meet again one day, I know, we are purring for you and your mom and dad, and Flynn. Please be well.
I heard of Eric's passing from Rumblepurr, who was right when he said Eric was a beautiful mancat. From your blog, it's clear that Eric was a wonderful kitty who you loved dearly. He will always be with you in spirit.
We are ginger and white brothers and enjoy sharing our adventures together walking in the fields. Sadly Eric left for the Rainbow Bridge on 19.03.2013. I joined my brother on 1st May 2017 so now we are together again for all time.
Oh, no. This is awful and hard news. We are so, so sorry. We don't know what to say, we will miss Eric so much. He was a one in a million guy, an icon in the Cat Blogosphere. We only wish there was some way we could take the pain for you.
ReplyDeleteSending you purrs and love from all of us, and Mommy Trish
{{hugs}} xx
Mommie's eyes are leaking as she reads this. We loved Eric. Before we started blogging - and was just lurking - Mommie had a bad back injury that required her to be in bed all day. Eric's blog was one of a handful of blogs that she knew would make her laugh each day. I know this does not help much, but please know that Eric was a very loved cat and will be very missed.
ReplyDeleteOh no no no. I love Eric and Flynn and my heart is broken too. I am so so sorry. I never expected to learn this terrible news. It is such a shock.
ReplyDeleteLove and purrs and warmest hugs. I know Eric felt the love every day from you both. He had a life of love and happiness. I wish I could make all of this nightmare go away. But you did the best you were able for him.
((((hugs))))
Extra kisses to Flynn. I love you dearest boy.
ReplyDeleteOh no. We are so sorry to hear that your sweet Eric has gone to the Bridge. We were hoping, wishing, purring and praying that there would be a happier outcome to his recent health woes.

We haven't blogged in over a month, but Teri told us this morning that Eric was very sick and we were sad...Tonight we read that he has crossed the bridge and we feel our hearts squeeze tight with tears and sorrow.
ReplyDeleteWe will always remember the boys together and smile when we think of Eric rolling in pheasant poop or 'leaving his calling card' anointing heather and gorse, hahameow.
See, we smile even though we are sad because we know how dearly he was loved by his Mum and Dad. Hug each other now and just know how fortunate you were to have him in your life...
And we thank you for sharing that life with us...Eric and Flynn have become such a part of our Curly Swirly life and made us happy to see them both enjoying farm life, something we can only imagine!

Eric, all of our eyes, including, Tommy's are so leaky tonight. We can't believe it. We know Eric feels so good running all over the Bridge--i am sure you're hanging out with our Perry, and maybe sitting on the lap of Tommy's daddy, who likes cats :)
ReplyDeleteOur heart pours out to you, Eric and your family. We hope Flynn is OK.
And we know, on a quiet night, when everything is still...there will a familiar sound-a purr-you. Your family will smile and know you are fine.

ReplyDeleteWe are all having leaky eyes at hearing the sad news of Erics' passing. He seemed to be having such a turn around for the better these past couple of weeks, clinbing trees & haybales, mousing in the fields and taking walks with you out to the barH. Eric lived life to the fullest almost to the end. I am so glad he had those few weeks where he had the energy to act like a young ginger Mancat.
ReplyDeleteYour posts gave Eric a voice & allowed us to know him well. We will remember Eric for the charming and chatty boy he was. I know that you both are so sadden & it will be tough for you & Flynn to adjust, but remember Eric would not want you to be sad for too long. He would want you to remember what a terrific Mom & Dad you were to him, the good times and tell you what a grand life you gave him in the beautiful mousie-filled hills of Devon with his dear brother Flynn. RPI my friend Eric, you were as good as they come.
O Eric we is so sad you had to go be an angel already. Our eyes is all leaking. Mommy lighted a candle fur your journey. All us Hotties luvs you and Flynn and your Mommy n Daddy and we always will.

ReplyDeleteSuch a sad day. You have lost your sweet boy, Flynn has lost his best friend, and the CB has lost a Legend.
ReplyDeleteWe are sure Eric is fine at the bridge teaching all the previously indoor kitties the correct way to hunt and have adventures.
What a lucky boy he is to have had such a loving family, in an amazing enviroment.
Thank you for all the adventures, Eric. We pray for your family's comfort.
I'm so sorry to read this. My heart breaks for you. With time, memories will help you heal and knowing that Eric was a very happy, loved cat. One of the lucky ones. God bless and sending hugs, Deb

ReplyDeleteI always looked in on Eric and Flynn's Adventures, each day, every morning. I loved to see them roam their beautiful Devonshire countryside, always together. Flynn will be so lonely without his brother, and everyone there must be feeling great pain. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteEric, you will be sorely missed. We never commented, but yours and Flynn's blog was the first thing we read with Mum every morning. We loved your adventures so much, boys. Our hearts are broken and eyes are leaking. Rest in peace, sweetest Eric. ;_;

We also loved reading about he and Flynn's adventures everyday. We know you will hold him in your heart and memories forever as will we. No matter how sick a kitty is, it is always a shock when they leave us. Mommy says she feels as if someone is squeezing her heart. She knows it can't be nearly as bad as you feel. Please tell Flynn we will continue to visit him and that all of you are in our prayers.

Oh no, please no. Please dear God, make this devastating news not be true. We are crushed to know that our Eric has gone to the bridge. We are overcome with grief.
ReplyDeleteEric was an extraordinary cat. One look at his amazing face could tell you that and we fell in love with him from the moment we met him. Eric was loved the world over and that love will never die. Eric will be in our hearts
forever. Every green field, every blue sky, every oak tr
ee will bring Eric back to us. His loving spirit will be
with us to comfort us in those dark, difficult times when
we feel we just can't go on. You gave him a wonderful,
enviable life and he gave back what he received. Poor
little Flynnie, our hearts break for him. We send you our condolences and all of our love to you as you face this this terrible loss.
Kari, Gran and the cats.
P.S. Our special candle is burning brightly for Eric.
and as each one made the journey along the bridge to heaven; they could see and here just ahead; the voices and faces of friends and loved ones who had gone before
ReplyDeletethey tried ever so hard not to look back, realizing they would see the tears on the cheeks, and hear the cries of the family and friends that were being left behind.
Then God said welcome to my home Sauce, welcome to my home Eric, and the two friends met at the threshold of rainbow bridge
Neither were no longer afraid, and they both turned and tossed all their pain and suffering to the wind, and entered the kingdom of heaven, to await those left behind

my sincerest sympathies and I hope Flynn will be alright

No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!! This is just too painful!! We didn't know you Eric and are, in fact, just meeting you today, but we are terribly saddened that such a gorgeous, handsome, sweet hunk of mancat has left us. You with your perfect face and 'come kiss me' eyes...gone over the Bridge. We are also sad because there have been too many passing the bridge lately and we think that it is high time for this trend to stop!! We are too late to purr for you, but know that we are now purring for your Mom and Dad. We know your pain. We do. Mom cries all the time over our Lolo/Lautrec who crossed the Bridge over a year ago...we try to sooth her pain, but, well, love is a hard thing and only time can heal that...if it ever really can heal it. We send you lots of purrs, headbutts and tailwags as well as many gentle kisses. All of us at WeezDaBadCats and DaMeenDawgs...Tiny, Ellwood, Ginger, Elioth and Chouchou...and our Mom.

hey sweet fambly, just met Eric at the bridge. He's going to get his furs done and nails... then he gets to go where every sick kitty goes when they first get here to get to choose how they live here OTRB. some wanna be big kittehs still, some wanna be lean, mean killin' machines. as soon as he gets done there, Sniffie, Inigo and I will take him to his new mansion. We offered to let him stay here but once he heard where the mansion is, he said he just had to get there! It's out in the middle of the nip field, so secluded, he's got nip field on one side, woods on the other. There's so much hunting to be done, he's going to be one busy mancat! we fink he gonna take over being the hunter trainer for new arrivals that never got to hunt when they were on Planet Purrth. His welcoming banquet will be tomorrow, so that he has time to get settled in a little first. we know you are sad, but don't mourn too long. your boy has arrived safe and will be prepping his mansion for all sorts of new adventures! and we know, many many years down the road, when Flynn joins him, he will be right there to show off their home. Me and my fursibs will install his purrsonal reflecting pond this evening so if he doesn't want to join everyone at the communal reflecting pond he doesn't have to. *angel smoochies* for the fambly left behind

Still can't get Eric out of my mind so had to post again. We loved his beautifully colored nose splattered with ginger. He looked human-like. And we will always remember him as surrounded by the green grass of the fields. Your blog still captures both Eric and Flynn's colors so perfectly. Hoping you are all feeling the love and prayers from everyone and that it's making you feel just a tad bit better today and more every day.
