Rest In Peace Dear Brian

      155 Comments on Rest In Peace Dear Brian

Our sweet Mancat Brian fought as much as he could fight, but in the end he could fight no more.  Brian crossed his Rainbow Bridge today and our world is a sadder place.  Brian was such a sweet and loving boy and he brought such joy to us and to so many of you. 

For those of you who have not been with us for long, Brian was always known at The Cat In the Hat, with his own special fedora. Rest in peace sweet love, you’ve sure earned it.

We’ll be taking a few days off and will be back on Thursday.

Thank you for sharing his life with us, thank you for being merciful and compassionate at the end. Godspeed, dearest Brian. Blessings and Peace to you all. ♥♥♥

I can’t begin to tell you the heaviness in my heart today. Terry I am so sad to hear that Brian left for the bridge today. He was always such a bright spot of hope and resilience. That sweet boy lit up the rainbow bridge in rainbow colors when he passed over. I know he was welcomed by so many who have preceeded him there, but that doesn’t erase the loss in your heart. Except to say for 15 years he filled it with his love and loyalty. He will be deeply missed by all of us.

Oh Dear Brian… We and TBT (and all cats everywhere) are so going to miss you. The Blogosphere will never be the same. Your message of “adopt cats” will stay in our hearts. Seeing you wearing your fedora will stay in our memories. We are sure that Ayla and Iza (and SO many others) were there at the Bridge to welcome you. Marley says he got a thought-message from Ayla saying that you “tipped your fedora and crossed with tail held high” to “apaws and welcoming “meows”. And that Ayla said “Well, I finally get to meet you”. And a… Read more »

We started fairly recently to follow the blog every day, and we love all of the kitties. But Brian was the star and leader, and we loved his quiet strength. He knew how to get a good snooze too. Definitely our favorite man cat!! That stylish fedora was just right for him.
We are sorry for his caring Parents as well. We know they gave him the best possible support, as they do to all of the kittens living with them.
Farewell Brian, you are always remembered by us 🙏🙏🙏 ❤❤❤

So sad news, our hearts hurt with you. This still does not seem possible. Although we rarely comment, you, Brian especially, stayed in our hearts, purrs, and prayers. You were so kind to us years ago when we first found such wonderful friends in the Cat Blogosphere. We send love to you, our treasured Friends. We know our Kwee Angels and many others from the “CB” were so happy to greet Brian and see him safely across his Bridge. Hugs and love, our dear Friends.

Cat and Dog Chat With Caren

I don’t have the words. I truly DO NOT have the words. This news is the most devastating news. I always felt that our sweet Brian would live forever. There are no words that convey just how special he was to us, to thousands of people. Your blog was probably the first I followed. I remember stumbling into Brian and never looked back. I will do a proper post…..it definitely won’t do him justice. While I normally don’t blog about kitties who have passed anymore, Brian was a legend. He deserves so much more than a blog post. My heart… Read more »

I am so very sorry to hear this. Brian was one of my favorite kitties, he encouraged me to donate some of my author proceeds to not only dog rescue organizations but the cat rescues as well and over the years I’ve made many new friends in such groups, thanks to Brian. He will be sorely missed.

Brian was the first kitty that I met on the cat blogosphere. With Terry by his side, he was the perfect ambassador. I suspect many of us are here because of this kind and loving duo. It breaks my heart that you are separated now.

To the whole family, human and feline, I am so sorry. I hope your grief is as long as it needs to be, and that your memories together are forever.

I cannot say enough how much Bwian meant to me. I always enjoyed his updates on his life with yoo all. I know he was hurting, and his time had come, but my heart has broken. My sincerest condolences to yoo Mister Terry and Miz Celesta, and to Seal, Simon, Macy, Kiki and Maxwell.

I’m so very sorry to hear this. Brian was the most wonderful pal any kitty or peep could ever have. I know – KNOW – he’ll have met up with Nissy in Heaven already, on account of their bein’ such good pals when Nissy was here on Earth. Bet Nissy has already shown him all the best nip fields and sunpuddles and such. And every now and then they’ll look down on us from Heaven, keepin’ an eye out for their Earthly families. And laughin’ at Peepers when she does silly stuff. My heart goes out to you all. Brian… Read more »
