How am I - Rumbles

I've had quite a few of you asking how I'm doing, I thought I'd give an update.

I've really been missing Inigo. I don't know where he went, just that he went out the door and I haven't seen him since. I've started running into the hall outside our apartment (which I never did before) to look for him.

I miss having him home during the day, I want to play and there isn't anyone to play with. When Rumblemum comes home I follow her around and I don't take my eyes off of her!!

Rumblemum worries that I'm getting really anxious and maybe a bit unhappy. She's glad she'll be home with me soon for the holidays.

I'm very lucky to have all my friends here to talk to tho. *rumblecuddle*

Poor Rumbles. Maybe when your mom has enough time to grieve, you can get a playmate!

Aww, poor Rumblepurr... we know how sad that must be for you and your mum both.

Our mom still gets leaky eyes thinking about you losing Inigo. How sad that was.

We hope you will find a new playmate one day, when mom has had some time to heal. It takes a while.

When our Soot went OTRB, Munchkin grieved for her sisfur for 3 months! That was in 2008, and mom STILL cries over Sootsie!

Time does help..but the emptiness never quite goes away. We are purring furry hard for you.

Raymond and Busby said...

We agree with Praline. Maybe when the time is right your Mom will find you a playmate. You're a yound dude and you need a pal. There are so many cats out there who need a home, and we know your home would be great. In the meantime, please consider us your brothers. We love you dude!

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

Oh Rumbles, we are sending purrs to you. You will heal, it does take time though. We are sending snuggles and Meowm sends hugs and scritches.

Katnip Lounge said...

Rumbles, I understand. When Dusty left, I was sad for a really long time. He was my best pal. I really bonded with Mommy after that, but when CC came along I fell in love with him and now we sleep and groom together.
I hope your Mom is doing OK, and you two can help each other heal a little in the next week.

Squiggy said...

I am so sorry you are missing your pal. Whenever I start to feel down, I find Tiger Lily and give her a good smack. I'd be happy to have you over some time and let you have a go at her. It is very therapeutic.
In the meantime, know that we are all thinking of you.

Katnip Lounge said...

Rumbles, that was me, KonaKitty.

Pirulo Furry said...

I wish I could be there with you to play when your Mum's out, but we're a bit far away. But, I'll be "virtually" there whenever you need, because you're my friend and that's what friends are for. *Manly cuddles*

The Island Cats said...

Rumbles, I know how it is. When I was little, there was another cat around here named Scooter. He was lots older than me but he taught me a lotta stuff. I really looked up to him. Then one day, he wasn't here anymore and I was all alone. I really missed having him around. A few months later, my mom brought Ernie home. At first I didn't want to like him, but after a few weeks, we became good buds and it's been great having him around...at least most of the time! ;-)

I know you miss Inigo...your mom does too...you both can bring some comfort to each other when she's home.

Cory said...

Rumbles, consider us your extended family. We wish we were there to play with you and my momma Ellie gives the best tongue bath ever. Maybe someday you can get a playmate. We will purr for that day for you sweet boy.

Sparkle said...

I am glad your human will be around lots for the holidays because it sounds like you're lonely, Rumbles. Nobody will ever, ever replace Inigo, but I do think you are a very social kitty who thrives with a roommate.

Catio Tales said...

I have a shiver going through my fur. I would hate to have no family and even though they annoy me, I love them lots! I really hope that when the time is right a new face will come through that door and you will have lots of fluff and fun. Inigo will never be forgotten though - by any of us.

Backcountry Brodie said...

I is so sorry fur you Rumbles. I knows that must be awful. When our kitteh Claude went to the bridge, Odessa and Nugget had each udder still so it woz not so hard on them. Mebbe someday you can has a furrend. You can neffur replace Inigo but it will be a whole new furrend with a whole different purrsonality.

BeadedTail said...

Oh Rumbles, we know that you and Rumblemum and dad are missing Inigo very much. He was a wonderful brofur and no kitty will ever replace him. We're sending purrs to you and your Rumblemum and we're really glad she'll be home during the holidays to spend more time with you. We love you!

Busy Buttons said...

We love you, Rumbles!!! *big Buttons hugs*

blindmaximus said...

I had been wondering about this...when my raccoon pal Gourry..."left"...all those years ago I looked for him for MONTHS after. And my two kitteh brofurs are inseparable and will wander the house, mewing, trying to find each other sometimes. I guess I'm just trying to say I know it's hard but we love you and Rumblefambly.

Flo said...

We're thinking of you Rumbles. You make sure you be 'therapy cat' for Rumblemum and Rumbledad too. I'm sure they'll need a few extra snuggles over the holidays.

*flohug*

Bunny Jean Cook said...

poor Rumbles -i nose u miss Inigo! maybe if ur really, really gud Santa Paws will bring u a little brofur for Christmas! xoxo

Angel MoMo and Charlotte said...

Poor Rumbles1 It's hard to lose your mate. Would be good to have your mom home with you in the next few days.

Angela said...

It will be very exciting for you to have your mum around soon over Christmas! More tuna and more cuddles every day!

Lisa + current cat said...

We are sad for you that you are missing your best pal. Baby wants to come over and give you all kinds of snuggles. She says she needs more mom attention too, and can't wait for the holiday break. We hope you get used to being the only cat soon, and that all of your memories of Inigo will be sweet and happy.

Bang! said...

I think you need some Bang! hugs.. *hug* maybe some smooches too *smooch*

The Chair Speaks said...

Know how you feel in missing Inigo. Our human missed our late brother Tortie so much that even a hug of a friend's Mainecoon cat who is almost the same size as Tortie felt good.

Mr Puddy said...

Rumble, me and my mom miss Inigo too. When you feel lonely, Come to visit us ( I means any blog of your friends ) we are all around beside you, next to you. We are with you. We are your friend.
We might can't replace the feeling of miss Inigo but we promise you are not alone.You always have us !

Hugs, Purrs and Kisses to you, Rumble
Puddy

Eline Oftedal said...

Thank you for the update. I hope you soon will be happy and will remember Inigo for all good life had and the true friend he was. Happy Christmas from Norway.

The Monkeys said...

We know you must feel a big emptiness with Inigo gone, Rumbles, but we know he didn't want to leave you. We hope spending Christmas with Rumblemum and Rumbledad will lift your spirits a little. They love you so much!

The Monkeys said...

Oh and, we're sending Tortie kisses to you all and a big sloppy Tuxie kiss for Rumblmum!

Brian's Home Blog said...

I know what it's like Rumbles. When my brother Ivan left me I was so darn lonely. That's how I ended up with 4 sisters I guess. Purrs to you my friend. Hey, thanks for the rumbley purrs of luck, it cleared up everything here!!!

HH and The Boys said...

I'm sending you purrrrs, pal. I know how it feels....

pawhugs too, ...Max

Marg said...

Rumbles, we are glad to get an update on you. WE have been worried that you were really lonely but you need to just snuggle with Mom a little more. You know she is sad too. Maybe some day, you can have another brother or even a sisfur. We are sending lots of purrs and many hugs to you and your Mom. Take care.

Daisy said...

Oh Rumbles, when you are looking for Inigo, just remember he is still there with you inside your heart. {{{hugs}}}

ps: Maybe one day, you will have another brother or sister. That would be a great tribute to Inigo.

Kea said...

Sweet Rumbles, maybe--maybe--when the time is right you will have another sibling. No one ever would or could replace Inigo, of course, but the heart's capacity to love is infinite -- or so we like to believe.

We're sending you all purrs and Light, wishing you a blessed Yule and a merry Christmas.

Pandafur said...

I am sorry you are missing your friend, Rumbles. Your mom will give you lots of extra love and attention while she is off for the holidays. We are sending you lots of love, too.

Your pal, Pip

Admiral Hestorb said...

Rumbles, all of us kitties and mommies and daddies know how you feel and we send lots of love and nose taps and loves to you. We hope your heart will be lighter by and by. Maybe there will be a sweet companion for you one day. But we love you..take heart, darling sweetheart.

CCL Wendy said...

I'm sorry to are feeling so lonely, Rumbles. Just remember that all your FURiends in the CB are always around if you want to get in touch.

Maybe when your mama's heart has healed enough, she will find you a new brother or sister.

Angel Simba said...

hang in there Rumbles. It will be very nice to have Rumbleparents home for the holidays. Purrs and headbutts.

The Whiskeratti said...

Hugs to you, my friend! We are always here for you. We agree that a new kitteh in the house might be a good idea for you, though we know it's still very early.

Cat said...

Sweet Rumbles we know you are confused and heartbroken that Inigo isn't with you anymore :-(

We think you need a companion, it will help you not to be alone. When you are ready, tell your mum that you want to be a brother again.

In the meantime we are here for you anytime you need us!!!

Unknown said...

I am sending you the biggest *Cairn Cuddles*. I am so sorry you are sad and are missing your Inigo!

I do luv playing with cats, so if ya need a substitute playmate, Iz here for ya!

Cat and DOG Chat With Caren said...

I just want to scoop you up and hug you and kiss you...it will take some time but you WILL feel better!
I am glad your Mum will be home with you soon...I am hoping that will help (((((hugs))))))

Mariodacat said...

Aww Rumbles - soft paw & hugs. Have thought of you many times and wondered the same thing. Must be hard on Rumblemum to see you like this too. Pretty soon RumbleMum will be home with you for a time. Soak up all the attention you can get, and I bet you gets extra amounts of it too. Who knows, maybe in time you'll get a new brother.

Hannah and Lucy said...

Oh Rumbles we know you must miss your brother lots and lots. Your mum will be missing him too so snuggle up close to her and comfort each other.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

Milo and Alfie Marshall said...

Oh Rumbles, we so understand why yoo miss dear little Inigo. We hate to think of yoo as lonely.

Maybe one day, when yoor mom is ready, some good can come from the tragedy of losing Inigo ~ maybe yo can have a new sibling (one in need of a loving forever home)?

In the meantime love and blessings to yoo and your family. And sweet remembrances of Inigo ~ we miss him too.

SASS....Sammy Andy Shelly Sierra said...

Dear, sweet Rumbles, we can feel your loneliness. We have been purraying for you and your mum and will continue to.

We are also purraying that your mum will soon feel she can adopt another furbling for you. There are so many homeless kitties out there, and we know none of us will ever forget Inigo, but we don't want you to be so lonly either. xxxxxxxxxx

Catmama said...

Oh Rumbles - lots and lots o' purrs and head bumps to you. You'll always have a special spot in your heart for Inigo but over time, that spot won't hurt so much. In the meantime, may all the love that surrounds you bring you comfort.

Catmama and the gang (Ms. Kitty, Lil Bit, Pixie, Mo, Molly, Tarzan, Zeb and Smooch)

Tama-Chan, Benny, Vidock, Violette, Ollie, Heloise, Momo, Ryu said...

Oh Rumbles! We wish we could send you Tommy for a while so he could take care of you and keep you company. When our Sen-Chan went to the Bridge, he was the one who looked after a lonely and sad Tama-Chan. Buck up, dear friend. There are so many of us around the world who love you!

Purrs,
The Chans

Pumpkinpuddy said...

Tell mama you definitely need a playmate. Mom was so sad after Sheena crossed that she took a long time to get me fursibs. I'm enjoying them so much I wish they'd come sooner.

*smoochies*

Awww Sweet and lovely and very handsome Rumbles!! Me and Charlie are sending you tons of hugs and love and purrs!! Of course you miss your adorable Inigo!! We miss Inigo too but it's awful for you, but you know, we truly believe that Angel Inigo is with you always and forever. You may not see him but he's there looking after you and Rumblemum and dad!!!

Take care gorgeous Rumbles! x

Jans Funny Farm said...

Yes, it's easy to understand why you are upset and missing Inigo. But we hope you will become less anxious as you realize rumblemom isn't going to disappear too.

Carolyon said...

Awww Rumbles! I sure your mum is feeling the same. You guys are just going to have to pal up for a bit.
Purrs and loving smooches
Caro

Big hugs Rumbler!!!

The Crew said...

You know, Rumble old pal, the same thing happened to me when my littermate sister Gracie went to The Bridge. I looked all over for her and cried and cried for 2 weeks. Mom got so worried about me, she got me Tipper, who was only 8 weeks old at the time, and I wasn't lonely any more. That was 7 1/2 years ago, and she's been a very good adopted sister to me.

When your Mom is ready, a new brother or sister is what you need.

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

We are sorry you are feeling so sad and lonely Rumbles. Your mum is very sad too so you need to cuddle lots to help each other heal. In time your mum may decide she is ready to get you a brother to keep you company.

The Taylor CatSSSSS said...

Sweet furriend. We know that you are very confused. We know that you miss darling Inigo so very much. We are sending you lots of purrSSSSS! Cuddle up with Rumblemum. We love you!

Sagira said...

I am sure that you do miss him. :(
We are very sorry and wish there was something we could do. :(

Hansel said...

Make sure your mom watches you and makes sure you are still eating and drinking and get tons of play time to make sure you're not getting depressed.

We think you should ask sandy clawrz for a playmate.

We will ask him for you. :) Hoping you are well rumble family.

Gigi said...

Oh Rumbles, the Human knows about this. When Mr. Teeth went to be with Ceiling Cat, Clarkie was pretty sad for awhile. The Human felt he was too old (12 or so) to get him a new kitty-playmate and eventually he adapted just fine to being an only-cat. Looking back, though, she wonders if he might have been just fine with a new furiend. Anyway, whatever happens, sweet Rumbles, your mom and dad will take really good care of you. Though I have to say, the Humans are kind of limited as playmates, MOL! They **bleed** so easily!

Quill and Greyson said...

Purrs to you sweetie pie!

Deborah said...

I'm hoping you and your Mom are keeping each other company and cuddling.
xxoo
Deborah

Cheyenne -Millie said...

We are very sorry Rumbles! We hope that your mom's days off will help you! Mom always found that having more than one kitty always helped us.

Anonymous said...

Rumblecuddles right back atcha, Rumbles. The hardest part of loving somebuddy is saying goodbye and missing them. We bet that one day in the not too distant future rumblemum will find her heart hurts just a little less than it did the day before and then will find someone who needs a loving rumblemum and cuddly rumblebrother to love.

"The Boys" and Karen said...

Oh, Rumbles.

"The Boys" and I are so sorry to learn that Inigo went out the door and didn't come back. And so far, can't be found.

We'll keep our fingers and paws crossed that you'll soon see Inigo.

marley said...

You out of your rooteen little pal? I elp you get back in it.....THWOCK....*waits*....Thwock....*waits*....Thwock....*waits*....Thwock....*waits*....Thwock....*waits*....Thwock

Rosemary B❤️ said...

Rumbles, I have been thinking about you too! I know it is hard for all of you that Inigo went away. I know he is safe though, so you do not need to worry.
I missed Princess when she went away, but then I got a lot more pets and scritches.
Don't be anxious, Rumbles. We are always thinking about you and your mom and dad. They won't make any big decisions for you or them until all of you are feeling at ease

We are glad that you will all be together for Christmas. Next year is going to be a good one.

OKcats said...

Oh Rumbles, you're breaking our little kitty hearts. When I lost my 2 brothers over the last 3 years, there wasn't any grieving - we were not even close to being buddies. Our mom was terribly sad, but no cats were upset. We're glad your mom will be home with you soon - we're loving having our mom home this week! We'll send you some purrs, ok? Just in case you need a little extra love.

Your friends, Fuzzy and Zoe

meowmeowmans said...

Poor Rumbles. We are so sorry that you are missing Inigo. Our eyes get leaky just thinking about him, and then even more leaky knowing that you, Rumblemum and Rumbledad are all missing him so. Purrs and prayers to you all, and we hope you get some special time with your mum next week.

Pip said...

Oh Sweety, this makes us cry and cry. You poor dear man-cat. Following Rumblemom, ascarit that she will disappear too. We wishes we can help you understand.
We is so very very sad for you!

Lin said...

I think you knew that Inigo was very ill, but maybe you are hoping he will come home. Maybe when the time is right, you can adopt a new friend to keep you company. I hope so.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, pally. I hope the New Year brings you joy.
