This kitty lived for 15 years and during the last three, was fighting cancer in his ear. I have been spoiling him with scrambled eggs and chicken, but he stopped eating. Just a few days ago he was still going to the barn with me. One of my boarders found him in a box in the field next to her house (with a couple of other kittens) and she asked me if I would take him. He was always a very sweet boy and got along with our dogs.
More beautiful weather. 77 degrees today but this morning it was cold enough to see the horse's breaths.
Once again I put their hay in the sun.
Cleaned and filled the water trough. As you can see, the leaves on the trees are starting to change color.
After chores I picked the indoor! There was so much manure in there. A light bulb came on in my brain and I'll bet the horses go in there at night.... and I thought they were in the pasture. No wonder there has been no manure in their stalls.
We took Seymour down to the Animal Hospital a little before noon. I'm always a basket case, but it was very peaceful and now he is buried next to Sophie.
Little Wonder woke me up at 4:30 to go outside, so I really needed a nap this afternoon.
He and Sidney joined me.
Fortunately I had some bean soup in the freezer
and put together a salad. A very simple dinner.
Chores at 6:30.
Night all.
Tomorrow is another day.

Oh Lori, a huge loss, after years staying on even when not so well. The others will feel the gap too. Much love as you enter another chapter at Skoog Farm.
My sympathy in the loss of sweet Seymour after all the years of togetherness.
Am glad you have other dear pet friends to cheer you and the family and am wishing y'all well.
Hugs!
I’ve followed your blog long enough to know Seymour like he was my own. I’m just as heartbroken over losing him. Kitties just want safety, love and food and you provided all that to him. I’m so sorry. Kathy
Sweet Seymour. I enjoyed hearing about him every day. So sorry for your loss.
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your brother and now one of your dear fur babies. He walked with you for many years. I am aware of the impact of what all this means in your daily life. 🐾🐾

Thank you all for caring about the loss of Seymour. He was a very good boy.
I'm sorry, Lori.
Hugs. So many of us can identify with your feelings. It's always difficult.
I am so sorry. He was a great cat and will be missed by all :'-(.
