LaBousch 1999-2011

It was a sad day yesterday, our lovable cat LaBousch had a blood clot/heart attack and passed away late morning. It was quite a shock as he hadn't been acting abnormal at all and was playing with the kids the evening before as usual. LaBousch was a birthday present from a college roommate from the Rolla pound. Compared to most cats he was extremely warm and lovable, he loved to cuddle and sit on your lap, or sleep on your head. His worst trait was probably that he purred to loud and would wake you up when he snuggled. He was considered to have a "smoker's meow" which was entertaining at times for all. He got along well with the dogs and all babies.


As you can see he was very interested in the girls and loved to be apart of what they were doing. He would fight the dogs for crumbs that would get tossed off the table.


He was always following Abby around, and in the end was sleeping with her in her bed at her feet - or on her pillow if she let him.

Megan enjoyed him as well - even though he got his fur grabbed a lot he never ran away, always wanted to be around them.

It has been a rough 2011 for the Schmidt family. Thank you all for your nice comments and memories of LaBousch. He was a good cat.

Ahhh... LaBouschy was always one of my favorite kitties (and that says a lot from someone who pretty much hates cats). I will miss his hello meows and lion haircuts.

Buddy now has a buddy :)
