{in loving memory of bean}

Today I found out that Mr. Bean, the beautiful 'Bossy Mr. Bean' who I had the pleasure of photographing recently was not doing well this week and was laid to rest yesterday.  I cried and I am sad.  For those of us that are pet owners, we know this feeling -- you don't just own them -- you love them, hug them, adore them & love them some more -- and that love never goes away even when that ultimate decision has to be made because we are their voice as well.

This is the first time that I have done this on my Blog & so instead of my words that memorialize Bean, I asked Kim & Kathe to give you theirs since he was their baby and I hope this post helps their grieving process.

Alexander Black Bean Kingston, 1998 - 2010

Bean entered into life born as a nameless black male dumpster kitten along side with his nameless brothers and sisters. Rescued by an organization, the paths of this furry black kitten and Kathe Kingston had crossed. The black kitten along with his brother, a gray kitten, were successfully adopted into Kathe's loving home and the black kitten was given the name of Alexander Black Bean.

From that day forward, Bean Kingston, showcased unique personality traits that touched the hearts of many. It was jokingly said that Bean was the spirit of Mozart because he hunted pens obsessively throughout the night. He played the piano by walking along the piano keys and producing dramatic musical combinations. He held his composure by relaxing with his two front paws crossed. He was social and charming with guests. He was the protective man in the house showing all dogs who was really in charge there (obviously not the dogs!). He loved to eat and was a rather large cat at 13 - 14 lbs. He showed Kathe Kingston, family and friends, 12 years of unconditional love.

Although his body no longer remains with us, his spirit will remain with us forever. We love you "black beauty". We will never forget you.
 
Kathe, Kimmie, Cindy and Friends

Although we have only known him for about 4 years now, we will miss him terribly. We were always happily greeted by Mr. Bean everytime we came through the door. It will be hard not seeing him the next time we walk trough that door. He will always be in our memories! Rest in Peace Black Bean!

Thank you for posting and thanks for the great photos of him! We will be lost for awhile without him but we would really be lost without good professional photos of him!
