It's over...he's gone. Today, he was having several seizures and just kept looking at us begging to know what was happening and how we could help him. We took him into the vet today and ended the misery; I would rather have him die in peace than to live long in agony.

I prayed that he would live longer or at least have Jesus take care of him when the day came...it came later than I thought but...still...it doesn't feel right. Life is fragile thing and we all seem to take that not very seriously, and you know what? That's good. We need to have a brighter view of life rather than dreading the day the inevitable comes. We should live our days as though their the last we'll ever have, but we can't and I don't blame you...it's hard to think of death when you're playing your favorite game or being with the ones you loved. That cat taught us a valuable lesson, that life is full of surprises and he...well, he was one of life's joys. He was a dependent cat, social and loving to all of us, he would purr when he was on top of you and he would purr loudly. To wake up my folks he would jump up to the bed and lick their noses. He even did that to me and I did love it and I loved him. I'm sad for my mom, he and her were so close together, she was always babying him and talking in a sing songy voice.

For only 11 months, he touched our hearts and we will NEVER forget him. I realize now how lucky I was and how horrible it would be if we never had the expierence of living with that kitten. He just loved humans and was always a loving cat and it is rare to have those kinds of cats as they are always independent creatures and never truely enjoy human interaction; but not this cat. I'm sad that he's gone, but happy that the pain...the fear...and the restless nights he endured are over and he can finally rest in peace. He had such a rough childhood, he got his claw snagged on my parent's bed and twisted his arm, he fell from the second story of our house, he had so many seizures it's not even funnny. But through it all, he was a loving and happy cat and we loved him for that and for just being there for us.

I'll end it here, he was a great cat and even though he lived for a year and a month he touched our hearts in meaningful and great ways and we will never forget him. I hope that you all enjoy your pet's time and happieness...you never know just when they're going to go. As for him...I'm just glad to have met the cat, may he stay in my heart forever...

Rest in Peace Little One...Your Pain is Over.
