Hiya everyone.
It feels kind of hard getting back to blogging and the humans are not feeling too well. But my human and I agreed that how hard it might be, we still can’t stop living and we owe it to Grouik to be strong and to enjoy life.
Milou and I are a bit confused. Someone is missing here. Who is going to finish my food now? Well, okay Milou will try, but the humans will prevent him from doing it (because he’s on a special diet).
Also I can’t go out now. My human is all nice and cuddling me all the time (and I am doing my best to console her too) but I can’t go out. She promised to go out with me though.
My human and I will resume reading your bloggies my furriends. Please forgive us if we don’t comment just yet, we’re often left with a loss for words or meows.
Before we resume some kind of regular blogging, we would like to dedicate this post to Grouik. We will also work on a special page in the menu (just for him).
Here are a couple of pictures of us together. Hope you will like them. At the end of the post is a video I had already posted but that I want to post again. Hope you like it.
Take care everyone, hug your humans and stay safe.
This first one was taken here in the U.S. It is not very good quality because it was taken with an old iPhone.
This second one is even worse quality, I know, but it is the three of us. It was taken in Brussels, Belgium. Please forgive the mess (we were partly responsible).
This last one was taken in France, in my human’s old bedroom, at her Mom’s place. Please forgive the mess too, that was just before we all moved.
And here is the video. Tomorrow or the day after, regular blogging will resume. We love you Grouik!
Thank you dear Texas! with this moving tribute you have demonstrated that Grouik is and always be there, alive in our hearts! Take care, and lot of hugs!
Thank you.
Great tribute for Grouik my dear Texas. I can imagine how you and your human feel these days. It’s must be really hard. Just take your time…
It seems we were almost neighbors some years ago, we live not far from Brussels… Take care my friends.
Thank you.
I was only there for a week but Grouik and Milou lived there for about a year. They were in St-Josse.
Purrs
Take your time Texas – we’ll be waiting for you until you are good and ready.
Thanks so much for this wonderful tribute, Texas. Me and my mom love all of the pictures and the video of Grouik. We’re still thinking about Grouik almost all day long….his cute face comes across our mind…..We believe he still alive in your heart and in our heart. *pawhugs*
That was lovely :)
Hugs to yooo’s all
Mollie and Alfie xxooxx
Texas, looking at photos of Grouik and especially all of you together is one of the best things you can do. You have a lot to remember, take your time and remember as much as you can. We’ll still be here when you are ready.
I love that bedroom shot. It’s a classic.
Texas,
I share your and your human’s feelings. I still can’t get our Buster, my best friend [I hope you’ll understand when I call a canine and not a feline “my best friend”] out of my mind ever since he disappeared [http://pitstexasexpatblog.wordpress.com/2011/06/21/buster-has-gone/]. And even if that’s been more than a year now I still hope – against all odds – that he’ll be there, wagging his tail, when I come home.
Take good care of yourself and your humans,
Pit
We’re here for you. Be gentle with yourselves. Cat bloggers understand what you’re going through. Sending healing purrrrrssss.
We are so sorry to be hearing about this. I never chased a chipmunk before but I heard there are a lot of them at Rainbow Bridge. RIP sweet Grouik. You will be safe in the hearts of all those who knew and loved you.
We are so sorry to hear about Grouik’s passing, and all too soon. You handsome mancat, may your heart not be heavy at missing your devoted humans for they will always remember you. Sending hugs and purrs that memories will help heal you all.
Tom, Mom Julie, Mitty, Tinker & Anastasia

I am so so sorry to hear about Grouik leaving for the bridge. My heart is heavy with this news. Know you are in my thoughts and purrs as I know this is a hard time for all in your family and those that loved Grouik. Keep him close to you in your heart and purrs.
Texas, love the photos and the video, which my Motor Mommy had not seen before. Grouik DID look like a bird in that nest!
Tell your humom that time will make it easier, and that Grouik’s spirit will always be with her.
Love, Sundae
Wonderful photos Texas….Grouik was such a handsome boy and I know you will ALL miss him. He will always be with you in spirit……

So sorry for your loss. Looking at the pictures and reading about Grouik tugs on my heart. I hope happy memories of your sweet boy will start to outweigh the sorrow of his passing.

We are so sorry to hear that Grouik has gone off to the Bridge. It is clear from your lovely words and beautiful pictures that you loved him so very much. We send purrs and prayers of comfort to you all.
I tried to leave a message yesterday but as I am in UK and using my grandson’s laptap it would not send anything.I am hoping this comment will fly it;s way to you.
I was so very very sorry to read about your beloved cat..I know how you feel. But do remember that although Grouik may not be there in person , he will always be there in your heart. He has not gone far, only for a stroll ..and you will meet again, You have many happy memories.
although it is rather soon I do hope that you will consider giving another cat a loving forever home. There are so many needing love and I fell sure that you could provide that love and care…. My love to you all xxxxx
Me and my cat Charlie just read about sweet angel Grouik. We are so sorry. What a tragedy and how awful. :-( We think this clip of him on his very own nest is just amazing. Take care

We are so very sorry about Grouik. It is so hard to lose our fur friends. We sure are sending huge purrs and some big hugs to the humans. We know your heart is breaking. RIP Grouik.
I am sorry to hear about Grouik. I lost my Fat Eric two years ago, it is very hard. Dora the Explorer, my current crazy cat, sends purrs.
We are visiting from Alasandra’s blog to send purrs and hugs from our house. We are so sorry for your loss. I know how upset my niece was when her cat was run over by a car. We know Grouik probably has a nest at the Bridge. He looked so content in it!
We are so sorry to meet you at such a difficult time. We didn’t know Grouik, but thank you for the pictures and video. We are sending our purrs to you.
Thanks for sharing the video of Grouik – I hadn’t seen it before. Purrs to you and your family today.
We are so sorry to hear that your beautiful sweet Grouik has left for the Rainbow Bridge. We did not know Grouik and wish we had. We will keep you in our purrs.
Abby,Boo,Ping,Jinx and Gracie
We’re so sorry that Grouik had to go to The Bridge so suddenly. We never knew Grouik, but clearly he was loved, and loved you all back. ppuurrrrrrsss
What a really nice Memorial for Grouik. He sure was a very handsome cat. I am so sorry to hear that he has passed on. It is so sad with all that traveling all of you went through that he had to pass when you got to your destination. Purrs, Prayers and hugs to you and your family in your time of grief.
Such a great video. I love the nest. Wonderful photos, too. All best wishes to you.
Thank you all so very much. Your comments, thoughts, prayers and purrs warm our hearts.
Thank you to everyone for stopping by, and for watching Grouik’s pictures and video.
We are still purring for the loved one left behind. Grouik was very lucky to have a family who loved him, so many deserving animals never know that joy. We hope you find comfort in that thought.
We were all so sorry to hear your sad news. Oli and Obi are sending you some long distance purr therapy and headbutts.
Hugs!
I am so sorry for your loss… I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet – I lost mine just a week ago… Sending you big hugs to help you through this difficult time.
Awww, sorry for your loss Hilary. That is so nice of you to stop by. Thanks for the hugs. We are sending hugs in return, too.
Take your time, Texas (and family)! We will be here waiting for you to return.
What a precious tribute to your sweet Grouik. We are so happy you have picture and videos of him to help keep your memories alive. Leaving you extra special hugs and nose kisses
We were so sorry to read of your loss. There are some beautiful photos of Grouik. We are very glad that you will stay inside now Texas!
Purrs and prayers..

Oh my! I just found you and it looks like I missed Grouik. Special hugs, catnip dreams and some snuggles sent to you. We are soooo sorry!
It’s so wonderful to have all the memories in our hearts, on photo’s and in video’s and I believe our furry friends are always be with us and sometimes they even show us a sign that they’re around us, so will be Grouik.
Beautiful post. My human sends her condolences as well. She lost a kitty (before me) in the same way. You and your human family are in our thoughts
and Milou as well, of course. Meow!
Thank you all so very much for all your kind and caring messages. We appreciated with all our hearts.
i love the photos and the video of Grouik in his nest is just tooo sweet.
xo
Thanks!
How sweet. RIP Grouik.
When Sophie left me in 2007, I created a memorial web site for her. Maybe Grouik deserves one. You can see Sophie’s at http://mywiseoldgrandmother.com/sophie.html
Sophie was very beautiful. Thank you for sharing this beautiful website.
The humans are also preparing a special page for Grouik with pictures and videos.
Purrs
Once again, my thoughts remain with you. I know there are precious few words beyond that which could help at the moment.
Thank you so very much. We really appreciate you taking the time to stop and comment.
Je viens de découvrir Grouik et les merveilleuses pages que vous lui avez consacrées !
J’ai pris le temps de regarder les vidéos, de lire quelques textes, c’était un chat merveilleux !
Sûr que ce chat a été très heureux !
Et maintenant, c’est lui qui veille sur vous …
Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil commentaire. Grouik nous manque beaucoup :-/
Merci d’avoir pris le temps de le decouvrir !
