Farewell Church Cat Tom

Yesterday we lost a wonderful friend of ours, Church Cat Tom.  He ran away to the Bridge while in his mom's arms.  Our Jim Shore angel holding a cat means more to us now than ever.

In August of 2010 we did a post featuring him.  It was titled

MANCAT MONDAY GUEST 

We would like to introduce you to a new friend of ours, Father Tom who blogs over at Temptation of Christ Parish. He had his first ever contest and we won!

And this is what we won! A beautiful Jim Shore angel holding a cat, who looks just like our good buddy Angel!

We are keeping it here in this place of honor. Mom is just crazy over this little statue and wanted it out where she could see it no matter where she sat in the living room.

Thank you so much, Father Tom, for this gorgeous prize! We will cherish it forever and each time we see it we will think of you. Everyone, please be sure to check out Father Tom's website. He's a very handsome Maine Coon mancat who lives in Maine.

RIP sweet Father Tom.  Keeping Mom Julie in our purrs and thoughts.
