CARLOS "CARL" RAPHAEL CAMARO
27 June 1997 - 28 August 2015
It's with great sadness we tell you of the loss of our sweet, dapper mancat, Carl. Although he was 18, it seemed possible he would live for a long time yet, but he was destined to come in to the world with Julie and to leave it shortly after her.
Carl had just been to the vet's for his check up and had a full blood work up done. No kidney disease, no liver disease, no imbalances of any kind. Incredibly his results showed a purrfectly healthy cat, even his teeth were white and clean without tartar, a week later he was gone.
Last Friday morning he had problems walking and was falling over, having difficulty getting to his feet, unable to eat or even look up. Looking into his eyes, the difference in the dilation of his pupils explained what happened. He'd had a stroke overnight.
Carl and Julie as wee ones.
One of Carl's greatest pleasures was playing.
It really didn't matter what the toy was.
Oui Oui wonders if Carl has lost his mind!
Nothing feels better than airing your belly after making a really big mess.
Carl loved his boxes too!
Singing was another great pleasure!
He'd slip out of the house late at night
and rendezvous with Admiral Hestorb, Katie Isabella's
predecessor and giggle when they kept Katie's mom awake at night.
You can hear him singing here.
Such a tiny little voice!
He did a lot of traveling too!
Here he is with Moosey and friends in Paris.
All packed and ready to sail the high seas to Australia
with his friends from Da Tabbies O Trout Towne.
Unlike Julie, he didn't mind being dressed up
and enjoyed wearing his tie.
He was a pacifist and never fought with any cat,
not even a hiss when new kitties joined the family.
Good bye, sweet boy! So much was lost in this world when you left it, but there is the promise of seeing you again, and what a happy time that will be! No doubt you are singing with the angels. Til we met again!
Wake up! It's time to eat!

Sorry to hear about Carl. A great tribute indeed.
MY heart is broken. Broken. No exaggeration. God bless that precious boy. And Admiral will take you on board as her FIRST Mate, Carl. You will sail the seas, put into ports where there are lush fields and lots of fresh spring waters and fields of the finest nip and then, you will sail on into the Rainbow and play till your hearts content.
With love,
Katie's and Admiral's Mommy

I am so sorry for your loss. This is a lovely tribute to him.
We are so sorry to have to say farewell so soon to Carl after the loss of his littermate Julie. It is with a heavy heart and leaky eyes we write to you. The beautiful words you wrote express how deeply loved and cherish Carl was to you and your family. He will be greatly missed on this earthly plane, but one day, when the time is comes, you will walk across that beautiful bridge and Carl and Julie and all of your beloved animals will greet you and it will be a joyous reunion. So we say farewell because we believe that we will see them again. I am so sorry for your heartache and I know you miss your precious Carl and Julie.
Sorry for your loss. That was a beautiful tribute to your sweet boy.
Remember, he is not alone. He has many friends and family OTRB. But he will always watch over you until you come to join him. Then he will finally feel his family is complete again.

Oh no! What a shock to read of sweet Carlos' sudden and unexpected journey to the Rainbow Bridge. It's so very clear that you loved and cherished him -- and that he had the most wonderful life with you. Surely you will see your special boy again some day. Until then, we know he is together with Julie, waiting until that glorious day arrives.
We are here if you need us, okay?
Love and hugs,

So sorry to hear about Carl, but you did a beautiful tribute to him (and Julie). I'm sure they both knew how very much they were loved.
I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you today.
Oh Oui Oui, we know we don't visit you so often. Honestly, we didn't know Carl so well, but I am sure he made your family happy. May your hearts heal. Again,our deepest and most sincerest apologies.
So very sad to learn of the loss of your Carl - it's especially sad when they've had a good "bill of health" then go so quickly. We didn't know Carl but he sounds like a really sweet and loving boy who gave lots of love and received it in return. That's what we ALL want...... I'm sure he and his sister are watching from afar to make sure you know he's alright - and waiting to reunite with you one day in the far future..................we send you hugs of comfort.

He was a handsome character! And one of the lucky ones Paula. We know his life with you was filled with love and warmth and play and kindness and good food and friendship and companionship and well . . . with EVERYTHING good life could possibly offer. Julie will no doubt be waiting for him in the afterlife. May he rest in peace. We are sending you all our love and a bazillion hugs.

Such a wonderful tribute to a sweet playful kitty. He lived along life and is now with Julie, waiting at the bridge for the rest of you. So very sorry for this loss. It is hard to let the long lived ones go - they become such a deep part of our lives.

Ohhhh, we are so sad you lost Carl. =( My daughter lost her 18 y/o Cabernet (also a beautiful black boycat) last summer. He, too, had a good, long, playful, loving life, and it was hard to realize he was gone. I'm sure you're feeling many of the same things.
We also love all the photos of Carl, paying tribute to his magnificence. What a wonderful life!
Love,
Marilynn, Grace & Company
My deepest sympathy on your loss of Carl. He will never be far away because his memory will always be alive in your heart.

My dear friend, Paula, I am so brokenhearted for you. I had been thinking of you and trying to get the opportunity to write you a note after your nice comment after Julie's passing. And now, here we are again. I now Carl and Julie are back together and playing and singing and waiting for the day when you all will be reunited again in a world where everyone is whole and happy. Please know that I am praying for you and that you will remain in my thoughts as you grieve another sad loss. I hope Oui Oui and MMM as well as your new friend can comfort you. Sending love and hugs, Janet <3 <3 <3
Purrs to you on your loss.
What a cat Carl was...as his superlative formal name implies...he was one of a kind, what Teri calls a 'Heart Cat' and while many cats have shared your life, it is quite obvious that Carl was the Ambassador ManCat that all us ManCats strive to be! May your sadness be softened by knowing how special a life you shared and how deep the bond will carry you through to sunnier days...he would love that...
I am so sorry you lost this sweet kitty, Carl. I really get a great impression of his personality from your photo retrospective here.
We lost a cat recently. It's so hard to lose them. My heart goes out to you.

Oh No!
We are stunned and at a loss for words. We are so Sorry that Carl had to leave for the Bridge so soon after Julie left.
Unfortunately that is the way with siblings. We once had 2 sisters and they went within months of each other.
We are just heartbroken and with leaky eyes as we write this......., we know Julie & Carl had a Wonderful life with you mom Paula and The Girl. And no-one could have loved them more!
So we send you *Soft Purrz* & {{warm hugs}} and purrayerz to heal your hearts.♥♥♥♥♥

Oh Paula, I'm sorry beyond words. You have had two crushing losses so close together, and if words would ease the pain, I wish these would.... It seems especially hard to lose one so suddenly, especially after Carl had such a good report at his wellness exam.
Thinking of you....

I am so very sorry to hear this news. Carl went to the Bridge the same day as Jewel - one year later - so I am sure she was there to greet him. Lots of purrs, hugs, love, and prayers coming your way. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

You may not see this all these years later but just as I remember Oui Oui and Twinkletoes, I remember Carl. I cried when he flew away and re-reading about him now makes me know I will always remember him and love him. I so loved all of your babies.
