Last night we discovered our cat, Scurvy, had passed away. My heart is broken as we have to say goodbye to such an incredible member of our family. A funny and affectionate kitty who I would often find hiding in hilarious places, like under my bathroom sink or randomly behind the breadmaker in the kitchen cupboard.
She was our dog’s best friend and so patient with our children. She had taken years of jealousy from Lilly in stride. In fact, it was the subject of one of my first ever blog posts, titled “No, no, we don’t kick the kitty in the head.” Their relationship had blossomed into one that was playful and loving.
Today I want to remember Scurvy. Our beautiful, quirky and cuddly cat who will be so very missed.
When we first discovered Scurvy in my in-laws barn. Grooming herself while the other cats fought for food.
Our prissy girl was clearly not cut out for farm cat life.
Her first day as a house cat. Clearly, settling in to her new life just fine ;)
Rinnie and Scurvy. Best friends from day one.
Mama cuddles after her rough introduction to our new puppy.
Lilly, loving the heck out of Scurvy. Literally ;)
“Listen cat, that’s MY chair…”
Daily cuddles with Lilly.
Besties.
She would just snuggle right in and make herself at home there.
My favourite photo of Scurvy, when she was about 3 years old.
RIP my dear Scurvy. Our family will never forget you.
I am so sad to hear about the passing of your dear kitty, Scurvy. What beautiful pictures you shared. I’m sure she was a very special member of your family. I lost my dear cat Pumpkin back in 2005. But, in 2007 Lilly came into our lives. I wish you peace and may her memories be forever.
Sorry to hear the lost of your cat
I am sorry for your lost.
Aww! I’m sorry to hear this she looked very cute in the photos, I had a cat Jaime he passed a while back and looked identical to Scurvy

Sorry for the loss of your cat.
I am so sorry about your cat. Pets are family at this house too. We have 7 dogs. No cats due to allergies but I love them!

My heart goes out to you. Scurvy looks like my cat from the 90s! I lost him too, sadly. His name was Monkey. Cats are such loving and wonderful pets. I always have one. I will pray for special blessings of love for you and your family today.
I am SO sorry for your loss Crys – precious Scurvy will be missed by us all.
((((HUGS))))

We had to put our black lab of 12 years last October and it was very hard. It’s been over a year since he was gone and we are just getting ready to think about getting another beloved pet.
