Once a good boy, always a good boy! Ted Ted (25 Feb 16 ~ 10 Dec 25)

16/12/2025 by A learning buddhist...

Out of five kittens, only two survived. Ted Ted was one of them. Sadly, three of his siblings passed on from seizures when they were only a few months old. Vara and Ted Ted always showed themselves to be good brothers, along with their “cousins,” Fluffy and Xiao Ted. All four played together from the day they were born. Fluffy left us first and now Ted Ted had gone too.

Both Ted Ted and Vara had mild neurological issues. I am grateful that Ted Ted was with me for nine years and Vara is still strong.

Taking care of them was not easy. In the early years, their neurological conditions could be easily triggered.

I will always remember how Ted Ted comforted Tom and Kang Kang when they were very ill. He would lie close to them, groom them and shower them with love. This is something even humans wouldn’t do. I probably wouldn’t either.

I told him how loving he was and that he needed to keep that love with him always. Once a good boy, always a good boy.

I stayed by his side and watched him go. He stayed with Tom and Kang Kang until the end, so I had to do the same for him.

May the merits accumulated be dedicated to his favourable rebirth.

  • “Bhikkhus, dwell with yourselves as an island, with yourselves as a refuge, with no other refuge; with the Dhamma as an island, with the Dhamma as a refuge, with no other refuge. ~ SN 22.43

  • “Enough, Vakkali! Why do you want to see this foul body? One who sees the Dhamma sees me; one who sees me sees the Dhamma. For in seeing the Dhamma,Vakkali, one sees me; and in seeing me, one sees the Dhamma.” ~ SN 22.87

  • A place to discover and explore the discourses of the Buddha.
  • I highly recommend reading the sutta translated by Piya Tan. His "Laymen Saints" has been an inspiration to many lay people.
  • Support coexistence with birds!
