In loving memory of
c. 2019 — 29 July 2026
Careful with the world, full of energy, and entirely his own.
Who he was
Tarsen was shy. He ran from loud noises, found the highest hiding places, and watched the world from a distance. But he also knew exactly when a person should not be alone.
Four small stories
Not the big events. The repeated, strange, loving little moments that slowly became a whole life together.
Tarsen was not a cat who demanded the world. But when Jonas had a hard day and felt alone, he came. He didn't need to do anything special. He simply stayed, and his company made all the difference.
“When I felt alone, he came to me and stayed with me.”
When Jonas played the drums, Tarsen was gone in a heartbeat. He fled the noise and found a hiding place — preferably a high one, where he could keep an eye on everything without being seen.
He was a fearful cat. That was never something to fix. It was part of how he moved through the world, and the family came to know his small safe places.
He was fast, especially when the fish toy came out. He played until things broke — a bit like Jonas did with his own things. And his appetite had very little respect for what actually counted as food.
Rubber. Broccoli. Apparently most things were worth a taste.
He loved Julia's room. When she moved out it became Jonas's room, but to Tarsen it remained one of his places. He also had the window at the parents' end of the house, and every high point a home could offer.
Rooms change. People move. A cat decides for himself what still belongs to him.
Sky betyder ikke fjern.
Han elskede bare forsigtigt.

A small sign that he still has a place in a room, in a home, and in the people who remember him.
A quiet goodbye
The last pictures are also part of Tarsen's story. They are not shown without your active choice.
They show the clinic, the family's goodbye, and the time after Tarsen's death.
From the goodbye at home and the clinic to the place under the tree. The videos only start when you press play.

You are missed.
