Steve and his female just returned from Phoenix, where they went to visit the female's father for Father's Day. The female's father, John, is 91 years old and has been a cat lover all his life. His current cat, Sandy, is 18 years old, so obviously, they the both have very good genes. John passed his love of cats on to the female, which is a very good thing, especially for me! Unfortunately, John is starting to fade and will soon be crossing over his own Rainbow Bridge. When he does, all the cats he loved and cared for throughout his life will be there to greet him, and it will be quite a crowd. I don't know for certain, but I would venture to say that it will be a very happy time, with hugs, kisses and tummy rubs for all. I can almost hear the collective purring.

Both John and Sandy have lived very long lives. It is sad that John will soon be crossing over to the Rainbow Bridge. Purrs for his family.
Wow what a wonderful man John is ~ we thank him for all he has done for cats and send many purrs and well wishes his way.
Anyone who has loved cats for as long as John has must be a very good person.
That is very sweet... and kind of sad.
Sending healing purrs to all.
That made my mom smile. Someone with that much love for cats will have happy reunions indeed.
That was a sweet post about John. It almost made my mommy cry to think of the kitties she will see one day. And the part about the purring, that was what got my mommy I think. I'm sending many purrs for Him and his current kitty. He must be a very good and kind person. Purrzz, Gizmo.
That is sweet that John has had a wonderful feline companion for so long.

This is such sad news. I'm very sorry. Please give your mom an extra rub for me?
Dat's really sweet. :) It's nice to think of how we'll all meet up with our loved ones on the other side - especially someone who seems as nice as John.
John sounds like a wonderful bean!
John sounds like a wonderful soul. The female is lucky to have such a wonderful dad.
Given that John is himself long in the tooth, he will probably have many beloved pets greeting him!
Any bean who loves cats is a good bean to me.
