Such a lovely open honest wrenching post. Thanks for sharing both your grief and your stories and photos and art of Louis. I’m so, so sorry. Drinks on me this fall at LIB, pls.
That was such a gorgeous loving tribute to a beautiful cat, Brad. He was loved by so many worldwide. I'm very happy that you had each other for all those years. I can see Louis holding court in a dive bar, ordering up a can of tuna while waiting for his turn at pool. He will never be forgotten, Brad. I do hope that one day, when you're able to do so, you will write a book about Louis and the life you had together. I know it will be a bestseller. And this time I won't miss the book signing!! =^..^=
Thanks for sharing this. We just lost one of our pet rabbits (Bullwinkle). They don't live as long as cats usually, but we had him for a good while. I was a little surprised at how hard it was to say goodbye.
What a beautiful, loving and absolutely joyful tribute to Louis, Brad! You know all our hearts go out to you over the loss. But I hope sharing all the love the bar world has shown to Louis eases your grief, at least a bit. Here's to more celebrations of Louis's unique life and the way he touched those of us who never even met him in person.

Thank you, Josephine. Your comment means very much to me.
I missed this when it was first posted! Was ever a cat so memorialized, in art, prose, and beverage? Long live Louis.
Thank you, dear friend!

Thank you, Gene. I always appreciate your support and I'm sorry to hear about Bullwinkle.
Thanks Brad. BTW, I had Paul at FriSatSun make me a Hamilton the Hipster in honor of Louis last night. Delicious.
That’s so cool. I’m glad you tried it. Appreciate it.
If you ever get back to Philly, I'd love to buy you a drink at FSS. We can discuss the nuances of Canastota fire hydrants. :-)
Two of our cats passed this year. They take up so much space in your heart. Glad that Louis had you for his time on this earth.
Hi Pat. I'm sorry to hear about your two cats and send my condolences. I was equally lucky to have Louis in my life, and for so long.

Thank you for your kind words, David!
Worth waiting for. Think of the book he has written about life with you. 🙌
Thank you!
