In loving memory of Smokey Joe (2014 – 2024)

✎ What of theirs did you keep? His collar, his medial records, his favourite catnip toy, his favourite toy that he used to throw around! Did try to keep a jar of fur but somehow lost it. I believe he took it from me so I could move on as not to long after I started dating my partner

Smokey Joe was a rescue kitty, when we got him i was in year 6 navigating life! I got him even tho he was the kitty said to have asthma and lactose intolerance. Turns out he had neither. He was a rare breed called a black smoke but written down as a domestic short hair. He loved the outdoors and snuggles! He unfortunately passes away with an illness we couldn't work out i wish we could know but everything came back negative he showed no improvement so we let him go

✎ When were they the bravest? So many times! In his life he'd been bitten by a brown snake twice (he loved playing in drains 🤦‍♀️), bathtimes haha, when he had to be shaved for a suspected tick, and his final moment when we couldn't find anything wrong but he was so sick and let him cross over to the other side

✎ Where did they love to sleep? He loved to sleep on my pillow above my head or under my head! Also curled up in my arms was a place for him that he would come snuggle in ❤️
