Friday Flashback for Flynn.

The flashback this week is for Flynn. It will be five years on May 1st when he went to join Eric. It still hurts as much as ever that they are no longer with us.
Forever loved and never forgotten.

The Mole Hunter from August 2006.

 
Come on effurrybody. I've got supper furr us. Hope effurryone likes mole!!

 
Yep it's dead. Those vishus deer had better watch out. I's afraid of nuffin!!

   
Come on mum, get the barbecue lit, let's get it cooked.

Some favourite photos:

Always a poser.

He loved his boxes.

An expert tree climber.

Lone patrol wishing his brother was still with him.

He loved to roll on the warm concrete.


An all time favourite looking out from the big oak tree.

Flynn April 8th 2000 - May 1st 2017

Aww, what a wonderful, sweet Angel. We know you miss both Angel boys something fierce. These photos are all fabulous, and that last one, though sweet and tender, almost brought a tear to the big softy of a co-blogger of mine.

Kea said...

All those wonderful photos and memories. That last photo is fantastic, definitely one to have blown up and framed.

Thinking of you and sending lots of hugs and purrs. ♥

Flynn you and Eric were loved to the moon and back by your humans and the love you had for each other was obvious every single day. We speak of Madi nearly every day...she is the reason I know you 2 Mom, Dad and all our other blogging friends. We remember all her craziness and how she kept us on our toes.
Hugs Cecilia

Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend, Jackie. Big hug. ♥

What a handsome man! This post is so heartfelt and brought loving tears to my eyes! I feel like I got to know Flynn a little more intimately! Thank you for sharing this! :) <3

You look and bam the years just seem to have floated by even when you've marked the days and months, they certainly accumulate strangely quickly. I don't know how but they do. Flynn was always such a handsome boy in all of his photographs. He is deeply missed most of all by you and Ivor. But he will live on in our hearts and by continuing to share him with us it keeps his memory alive.

((hugs))

Oh my gosh- such a sweet kitty! Cats are such wonderful companions. I wonder if the mole was BBQ'd with "Mole" sauce?

The Florida Furkids said...

Such a handsome boy and great hunter.

Love the photo in the tree. Glad that he knew how to climb down himself. We are not so smart here.

OMC...so, so adorable. I bet that mole was delish!

Eric was already gone when we discovered your blog, but we remember when Flynn was still on patrol.

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

Five years sure has gone by quickly...but it doesn't take away the hole(s) left by your beloved Flynn, and Eric earlier. Hugs to you as you remember and honor Flynn's memory once again. ((( ♥ )))

The mouse we pups snagged the other day, here, has nothing on that big fat mole you had there, Flynn!!

My Tata's Cottage said...

These ahndsome boys are forever in my heart. They still delight us with these wonderful memories. Thank you , take care and have a good weekend.

Pam and Teddy said...

That boy was one big ginger hunk of handsome. The look in those eyes says so much......He'll definitely be forever missed.

Hugs, Pam

Zoolatry said...

Our favorites too.

Marvelous Marv said...

Flynn was a hunk of manly man cat! And what a hunter! I love the shots, especially with the BBQ. Thanks for the memories, he always makes my heart sing. Kozmo wants you to know he has caught several large moles already this year. We hope you and Ivor have a marvellously happy week!

John Bellen said...

That Flynn was good at everything: hunting, patrolling, posing...and humorous, too. He made me laugh, wanting the mole barbequed. Handsome fellow, always.

Katie Isabella said...

I truly have always and ever loved your boys and I just love them dearly even still.

meowmeowmans said...

We loved Flynn (and Eric) from the first time we visited your blog. They will always be special to us, and we will love and miss them forever. Purrs as you remember your beloved angels.

Moles, trees, an missing the brother (and both now). Special.

Summer said...

I loved each and every one of these Flynn memories.

The J-Cats said...

Hugs and pawpats to you, as you remember Flynn, the Mighty Hunter. And Eric, too. Such handsome mancats, both of them.

Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...

They were both such handsome mancats. We miss them too and enjoy your flashbacks to happier times when they were still with you.

I thought I'd left a comment and with the new, unimproved Google, I may have tried...

I wrote that Flynn was good at everything, whether hunting, climbing or posing, and he was a good brother to Eric, too.

In Lucy's Memory said...

Such sweet photos. I wasn't here on the blog back when the boys were roaming the range, and am so glad I finally discovered them. They bring me much joy. Hope Mom and Dad are doing well. Until next week...Jean

Gone but never ever forgotten. So very handsome too.

Flynn was such a handsome mancat. He and Eric are having a blast together again.

Hello Jackie~~BellaSita Mum here~~ man so many lovely memories of Flynn! I ADORED him so much! He was such a good hunter & so fearless. And yes, he could climb like nobody's business!
How can it be 5 whole years he is gone? This August it is 4 years that Purrince Siddhartha Henry is gone. I like to think he is with Flynn who was like an Uncle to him & Eric too.....

I have thought many many times about Flynn and how terrible it had to have been for him when his brotherwent on. A life time of companionship and Eric went on without his brother. It had to have been very hard for Flynn. Loved your boys. Always will.
