This week draws to a solemn close following the news that one of the Internet’s most illustrious cats, Colonel Meow, has passed away. MTV News reached out to comrade in arms, Lil Bub, for her thoughts on the great cat’s transition to the spirit realm.
Lil Bub wrote in an email to News:
Dear Colonel,
You are without question the most remarkable, impressive, and regal living creature I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Despite your intimidating facade, you were an incredibly kind and loving creature that brought millions of humans great joy. Your legacy will never be forgotten Colonel. See you in space my dear friend.
lub,
BUB
Owner Ann Avery broke the news of Meow’s passing Thursday with a photo of the cat and a brief message: “Colonel Meow passed away yesterday evening. I will post more about the details when I’ve had a few days to grieve. Thank you so much for your understanding, Minions. Your love and support has meant the world to us both. — Slave Beast”

According to Today, The Colonel was hospitalized in November due to heart issues. Before his passing, though, the 2-year-old kitty had garnered his share of Internet fame, as well as a Guinness World Record for Longest Fur on a Cat.
Bub, who spent some time with the record-setting cat, was kind enough to share a passel of photos of the two of them cavorting together with MTV News.
