Good night, sweet Mat
Keep chasing that laser pointer.
This morning I woke up at 6:30, which I almost never do, and saw that Mat had walked from the kitchen, where he was sleeping last night, to the foot of my bed. He had used his last burst of strength to cross those few meters.
The rest of the day he slept peacefully, and I even managed to make him eat and drink a little. Saffy and Drogon sat nearby, watching him. At 8pm Mat tried to stand up, but was too weak. He started gasping for breath.
Mat died tonight at 8:08 pm. He had a good last day, surrounded by his human, her books and papers, and his two feline companions. There’s no place to bury him here—the spot under the tree where Koosi is buried has been concreted over, and the nearest pet cemeteries are in QC and Cavite. Fortunately Tina offered to bury Mat in her garden in Paranaque, where she recently buried her askal Atis, 17.
This video was taken three years ago with our old phone. Mat was always an angel, and I am lucky to have been his human. Goodbye, Matthias Eomer Octavian Federer-Urban. You were thoroughly lovely.
Here’s Mat’s favorite song.
Think of adopting a stray cat.

I finally see a video of you. There’s no cat more handsome in my opinion.
Rest in peace, Mat.

Sweet dreams, Mat.
Jessica: I’ve never met anyone who understands cats more than you do. Mat was very lucky.

Your Grace, I have cats who lived and went beyond, Your Grace. Hopefully, they will join with Mat.
Sweet dreams, dear Mat!

Oh no :( I’m crying now inside the office, just like when I read about Koosi a couple of years ago.
I’m very sorry for your loss, Jessica.

Bye, Mat, we won’t forget you. Thank you for you and the memories (nevermind if ‘secondhand’). Say hello to Koosi from us.

Sleep tight, Mat.

So weird. I had a dream last night about a cat who jumped on my bed and nuzzled against my back. And I NEVER dream about cats. Very sorry for your loss Jessica.

Sleep well, Mat. When you meet Koosalagoopagoop in your electric dreams, tell her my husband and I said hi.

Goodbye and thanks for all the advice you gave on your birthday, Mat. Thank you, Jessica, for all the tales about Mat.

To have someone care for him and write about him this lovingly, Mat truly had a life well-lived. My condolences, Jessica.

It’s been a while since I visited the site, and it’s sad that this is one of the first posts I see upon visiting again. Condolences, Jessica. Mat, always be an angel.

Thank you for all the wonderful stories, Mat! You’ve always been one of the reasons why i love to rescue cats. Please send my regards to Koosi and my four-footed angels. Farewell Mat! Take care, Jessica.

He will never admit to it, but I am fairly confident that he is grateful for everything.
