Scoresby 3/29/15 - 3/30/16

I received a very sad message from Allie yesterday morning.

It is with a very heavy heart that I am writing to you. Sadly this morning, while I was getting ready for work, Scoresby (née The Kraken) passed away suddenly. We rushed him to the vet, but it seems to have been a stroke or heart defect that they can tell to the best of their ability. It may have been something he was born with or an undiagnosed disease. I can tell you that he was his playful and loving self up until the very end and will be missed greatly.

Goodness I love this photo of him

I didn't hear from Allie often, but when I did it was very evident that she loved him. She has such a kind heart.

I hope I do not bring down your morning too much, but I know you loved him as a kitten and would want to know. Thank you for helpin bring him into our lives.

As sad as I was to hear it, I am glad she told me. I follow her on social media and would be wondering what happened to him.  My heart absolutely breaks for her.. not that it didn't crack a bit on its own at the thought. He was an amazing kitten.. my little bonus boy..

‘Goodnight you prince of Maine, you king of New England.’

Former Foster Friday - guess who!

Anyone want to guess who this is?

His mom named him Scoresby but you will know him better as

Yes, that's right, it is The Kraken!! and no, his mother didn't keep the name and no I don't blame her, I don't think I ever officially called him that anywhere other than the blog, he was always 'cutie' or 'sweetie' because The Kraken is such a huge name.

The Kraken was adopted by the same family who adopted Lyra, formerly Tawny, so this particular update is double sweet for me. It was reported that Lyra initially had a problem no longer being an only child, but has come to appreciate having pesky younger brother.
