Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for July 20, 2014

Thank you Graham.

What beautiful colours; I’m sure Linda loved it.

Lovely, Graham…

And a great message…. I’m sure Linda would agree.

Thank you!

A beautiful thought.

@Happy – I just loved the little rabbit you posted yesterday. Thank you.

Thank You Graham. My prayers For Linda

Crying again…..

This is precious Graham…it really is!

Making me cry, too – it’s gorgeous!

Thank you, Graham.

what happened to linda?

This is the kindest place I know.Does that say something about me?Or is it the nature of the people here?

Lovely, Graham. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Harrop, for this deeply moving obituary for Linda Dean.

Good thoughts Annie. I keep thinking about all the innocents who were shot out of the sky a few days ago.

Wow! This is really wonderful!

Tears falling here too. Lovely tribute. If only all people would realize the importance of kindness. I know Linda did. As does Graham Harrop. Thanks for this lovely comic.

Very beautiful tribute to Linda and what a nice sky. I think Oliver was her favorite too.

That was really sweet of Graham – not a lot of cartoonists would have done that. I agree with Catzy – the colors are beautiful.

I just knew you would do something kind like this Graham. You are a wonderful person, I think. And this one today is JUST BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful drawing,beautiful message. Thank you, Graham.

@GrahamIve printed this comic off on photo quality paper, and intend to frame it.Thank you.

I’ve also printed off the " bai. i loves u. " photo.Its also being framed.Both are going to hang in my office space.

beautiful……..

Oh, how inspirational!

Tears in the eyes, lump in the throat. A beautiful tribute.

This is very nice :)

Beautiful statement and tribute. Only in the Ten Cats community will you find something like this.

Thanks, Graham.

Thank you Graham, this is lovely.

Wonderful and beautiful tribute to one of the kindest ladies I knew. Linda is admiring that gorgeous sky. Thank you Graham.

HAPPY, Ten Cats inspires kindness. Cat lovers and animal lovers in general are kind people, from what I see here.

“Goodbye Linda” in the wall puts a lump in my throat.

Thank you Graham for acknowledging the world’s loss of a truly beautiful person. She made the world a kinder place to live in. No small miracle! (((hug)))

@ happy. It says something wonderful about you and Ten Cats family. Nicely stated ;)

This is my favorite strip today, hands down. It’s beautiful!

Beautiful message, Graham.Thank YouLinda would had loved it.“We are all one…”Deep Peace, Everyone.Thanks for all of the good times, Linda. We will forever miss you.

I’ve not been a regular reader of 10 Cats but I may become one now. Thanks Linda and thanks Graham for today’s strip.

Bravo!Through the tears I must say that this is a beautiful tribute Graham. I’m sure that Linda is looking down at this quite pleased. She was a truly beautiful lady who will be missed by us all.

Oliver, Annie and Graham’s tribute to Linda Dean today is lovely. There are no finer commenters than those on Ten Cats. Linda, we’ll miss you but we’ll never forget you.

& I thought my tears were dried, lovely Mr Harrop X

See you on the other side, Linda.

So lovely, I was in such a happy mood (and gone yesterday). Sorry to hear of Linda’s passing, but she would be very happy for such a tribute!

None of us know when (especially around my age) but we can enjoy what life provides for us and try to pass on knowledge (and all our tools for esoteric crafts). We were still in bed when I heard this morning about James Garner. I did not realize he was 10 years my senior.

What an absolutely beautiful and touching tribute. I haven’t said so before, but I will miss Linda too. Her pictures and posts are one reason I always checked the comments here and at Citizen Dog even if I didn’t have time to check everywhere.

Thanks so much, Graham, that’s really lovely. What a wonderful community of people this is.

this is lovely, both the strip and the kindness shown by everyone here…. I think Linda would be smiling!

I’ve not been here long, but can appreciate a really beautiful tribute to someone who sounds like she was a very nice person. Godspeed, Linda! And thank you, Graham Harrop, for the beautiful tribute!

What a nice tribute to Linda, Mr.Harrop. While I did not know her, seeing and reading her posts made me feel like I did. I’ve always felt that if you want to measure someone’s life, just see how many people pay tribute to you when you are gone…rest in peace Linda.

Thank you Graham. Your kindness, along with your art and humor, make this comic the BEST; the followers and I salute you.

Ephesians 4:32

I always check back here before going to bed. This strip because of Graham and the commentators and those who read, but don’t comment, and I feel there are many, make this one of the happiest, soothingest places to be.

Goodnight everyone. Graham, Just had to say, Sir, YOU ARE A GOOD MAN!

I just got home from Texas and Linda’s memorial. I cant begin to tell you everything now, but Mr Harrop, you have my heart in your hands and my tears are overflowing. So much in the last week to take care of and it is just now settling in as to how much I am going to miss my friend, and how much you all cared for her. I have to leave now, because I have to cry, kick the bed and in general have an emotional breakdown. So much to do and so much has been done and now all that is left is to remember and feel the loss. But she would have been amazed at the caring and the joy – Thank you all. Especially you Graham, Dry, 2Old, Lexi, Rikki Tavvi, and Happy, and maybe especially Eldo, she considered you the best of all that there was on Ten Cats, along with Queen of America, the best foster mom going, Beth whom she continued to pray for, Lady Cat who loved KoKo and Yum Yum as much as she and Lillian Braun did…so many I cant begin to name you all. She always said 10 Cats people were the kindest, gentlest and happiest people out there. She was right. I will tell you about the Texans tomorrow and the memorial. I am exhausted and just want a shower and a cry and to love on Tinker and Belle. Good night my new friends.

A serious contender for cartoon of the year. Awesome. Not only in what it expresses, but in what it implies as well. This is a secular, subjective moral statement that puts to shame any religious pronouncement on the topic.As Somerset Maugham put it: “The right thing is the kind thing”.

I just found this strip yesterday. I’d read about Linda’s passing on another strip and someone else said something about “Ten Cats,” so I thought I’d wander over here. Linda must have indeed been a very, very wonderful person judging by everyone’s comments. I am sorry I wasn’t able to get to know her. And such a thoughtful comic, Mr. Harrop! I am sure Linda’s friends were deeply moved. I know I was when I realized you’d included a message about Linda. I’d like to continue to come back to this comic…there appears to be many kind souls here. ;)

Someone said, “I have lived with several Zen masters — all of them cats.”

It’s getting late but I knew there were more posts that I would want to read. Since I’m out of town, my foster babies are being cared for by another great foster mom so I don’t have any pics to post. I talked to her today and she said they are all doing great. Maybe Linda is looking down on them and watching their antics.

Thank you Graham.

This brought a few tears here too, thank you Graham for a beautiful strip and for mentioning her name.

A beautiful tribute.
