      *sympathy. I can spell, honest.

      Thank you so much, Jan. Missing Tom’s hugs just at the moment, with added purrage, so yours very much appreciated.

   I am so sorry for you loss. I, personally, am a firm believer in “Rainbow Bridge.” I hope such a thought will help.
   1. Sophie 27th July 2021 at 17:43

      Thank you, Sue. A very sweet and comforting thought.

   Oh, Sophie, I’m so, so sorry. He was such a handsome cat. My deepest sympathy.
   1. Sophie 27th July 2021 at 17:45

      Thank you Elizabeth. He was, indeed, handsome and a gent. Every time I properly think of him, rather than simply just miss him, I beam.

   I’m so sorry to hear this, Sophie. He seemed like a brilliant cat and a wonderful companion xxx
   1. Sophie 27th July 2021 at 17:46

      Thank you, Helena. He was indeed an ace Writer’s Companion. Took his duties very seriously. At some point he sat on every book I’ve ever written, I think.

   I’m so very sorry. Tom was a very special cat with a huge number of admirers who will miss him.
   1. Sophie 27th July 2021 at 17:47

      Ah, thank you, Liz. For a cat who largely eschewed Company, he does seem to have a surprising number of friends and well-wishers out there. I am so very much touched by that.

   Thanks to everyone who sent comments and sympathies. I am sure Sophie will wish to respond, but not today, I think. I hope you will all understand.
   1. Sophie 27th July 2021 at 17:48

      Thank you, as always, for your understanding, Joanna. True friendship, that.

   To lose a furry companion is the hardest thing. TK sounds to have been a joy. Lots of hugs to you, Sophie.
   1. Sophie 27th July 2021 at 17:49

      Yes, he was, Liz, an absolute joy. And still is and will continue to be, once I get over this present hump. Thank you for the hugs. Needed and appreciated just at this moment.

   Thinking of you, Sophie – Tom was such a good friend to you over the years. x
   1. Sophie 27th July 2021 at 17:51

      Thank you Juliet. You hit the nail right on the head. I’m a great believe in inter-species friendship. I count myself very luck to have had Tom’s.

   Rather late commenting on this, but `I’ve been thinking of you all the time since we heard about Tom. Devastating news.
