Description from E Homewood: Wilfred is a very multi-faceted 30-pound cat. He's a protector to his girlfriend and mother, patrols the neighborhood for intruders, a good listener, and many other things. Most of all he is a very good friend since my husband passed away from Stage 4 Lung Cancer last Monday. Wilfred knew he was sick and did his best to comfort him. He didn't understand why his Da (Irish for dad) left in an ambulance and never came home. All he knows is that his mom is sad and has to do his best to make her happy. We're both working on that together.

ClovisakaLois says:I’m so sorry for your loss!
My father-in-law passed this afternoon peacefully in his sleep and my ex passed early this morning from a violent attack. He always hung with the wrong sorts.
I love your Wilfred pick! I hope he helps you deal with your loss.

dolllady aka Pam says:Lois I’m sending you condolences on the passing of your father in law and your ex.

dolllady aka Pam says:E. your presence has been missed and the reason for you lack of picks has been explained. So sorry for your loss and Williards. I know that after my father died, our Chihuahua, Chiquita never went back to the bedroom on her own. In the beginning she wouldn’t even stay in there with my mom when she was playing on the computer.
It takes time to heal. Like Nancy said it helps to talk about it and this is a good outlet. This pick is a fantastic pick for Williard.

ClovisakaLois says:Although I had not intended to make this about me and my loss, thank you Mary and Pam for your warm wishes of condolence.
Losing a spouse, like Wilfred’s mom did is so distressful and I will keep E. in my thoughts and send heartfelt good wishes her way.
