maui onion "the nuzzler"
december 1996 - april 30, 2007
dear maui,
i know you hated other cats. i mean really, really hated other cats. remember the time you hissed and spat at me, for weeks, after you waltzed in and found a tiny little kitten on your best spot in my bed? i do. after that you only came in long enough to eat...and if i was around, you made sure i understood the penalty for my sin. and i did understand. i think it was another full 2 weeks after the tiny little kitten left before you considered even rolling over in front of me - and then another full week before my first semi-nuzzle. it was a trying time for me, too.
i just went over to your old site...ilnuzzlino. i'm not able to go there without crying. i don't want to cry anymore. it, literally, hurts my eyes. but it's getting close to one year and it's only become manageable; the memories of you are crystal clear, and so is the loss.
i've been thinking a lot about why i got so close to you, a mere feline. nuzzlebreath; it wasn't just because you were simply the most intelligent animal i've ever known. it wasn't just because you were the world's cutest/most handsome cat. it wasn't just because you were oddly so much like a human being...a furry 5 year old boy with a distinct personality. and it wasn't just because you protected me that time from an 8 inch long lizard. it was because i really, really dislike people as much as you hated other cats. we understood each other. to hell with other people's insane perceptions: our bond transcended species. you were aware of me. and toward the end i believe you were aware of yourself and our bond. i wonder now that you may have been an angel - you often enough acted as one might.
whatever you were, there isn't a day that goes by that i don't look at your pictures and think of you.
love always, always, always
your human

happy birthday, little muse. you're safe, warm and supremely happy. i'm grateful to have loved you. your photos are on my walls; every night before i sleep i look up and remember you - otherwise you're just a part of who i've become.
thank you, God, for those 10 years with the greatest cat on earth.

ps, nuzzface, you're 6th on google
7 nuzzles:
Gypsy,
This is depressing news...That site is/was so beautifull. Can't the domain tech people get you back in? Surely there must be a phone# to get a helpful human as opossed to cyber assistance. Good luck!

meows & purrrs,
His ever lovin' fan, Galatea
ilnuzzlino is back up. the password and login info securely in my email and carved into my wooden memory.
he lives,
forever.
This is great news. Because this is one of the most special places to visit in cyberspace.
I look forward to hearing about how Harry & your two new friends are doing . . . But I have to admit there's no place like The Nuzzlefiles!

That's a beautiful drawing of Maui. Whenever I see you refer to him as Maui Onion I think it's because of the many layers in onions and that he must have had many layers of wonderfullness to him! Of course I know he did (without knowing him in the fur) but never-the-less.
I noticed your Egyptian cat link ... Did you know the Egyptians at one time believed we could live on onions?!
who keeps deleting their own comments. i don't read as much as i should. i miss things. anything pertaining to the nuzzled one really needs to hang around long enough so that I can read it.
he lives
i live, too, and need to see what you wrote.
that is exactly why i added the onion. his full name was Maui Onion Tom Selleck "The Nuzzler" Rosenberg. Seriously. I knocked the Tom part off and stuck with Maui Onion.
he does live
