My beloved "Bo", my love, my life, my joy

[chercatz]

This is just a little something that I must do before I go to bed tonite, because I had to put my sweetest most precious "Bo" to sleep today. I cannot tell many of you something that you do not already know, and that is how much I love my precious baby and how so very, very much he will be missed. He was a lilac point siamese kitty and was roughly 16 years old. My husband let me get a new cat when we moved into our house back in 1992. I went to an animal shelter in Moreno Valley, California and found two brothers, both siamese. "Bo" was the lilac point and his brother "Boomer" was a seal point. They were owner turn-ins and I got them the very same day that they came in; I really lucked out on that one. Well, "Bo" was never and has never been the typical kitty. He LOVED everyone and I mean everyone! He never hissed, growled and scratched at anyone, EVER, and he was my constant companion. With my husband being a long hual trucker, "Bo" filled the emptiness that I had with my husband being gone, and he filled it to the very end. There was never a moment that he didn't share my lap, looking up at me with his big beautiful blue eyes and stare at me for hours until I said "I love you" to him, coxing him to crawl up close and head butt my chin, standing straight up erect like an egyptian cat, eyes closed, purring hard and getting kiss after kiss after kiss! He thought he was pretty much human! I honestly believe that he knew he was seriously loved by his momma, and that was what kept him living on so long, even though he was suffering with his illness.

But now the angel's wings you couldn't see on his back are on there now and I pray that the day I leave this earth, he will come running up to me and invite me to spend eternity with him and Jesus!

To all of you who have lost a cat to disease or old age.......your precious little one will always be a large portion of our hearts and no one can ever tell us otherwise. Think of your baby often and know that they will forever live in your heart! Take care and know that we will see them again one day!

Thank you Laura for your reply. I know that the loss of a pet is greatly painful and I just wanted to let everyone know whom I can relate to regarding the loss of my baby "Bo". Thank everyone for allowing me to post this small story, as it helps me to heal somewhat and begin to come back to life. :(

Everyone asks me why I spoil the found Cats,and the reason is that I ahve laerned,that one day,they will not be here,to spoil.
Bo was such a Good Cat,and must have had excellent TLC to live to 16.
This affects me,as I have a Little BoBo,of my own.
Turkey Slices for Both Bos tonight.
And you will see your Bo,and she will have tales of travelling with The Pet Taker Angels,to tell you ,One Fine Day.

So sorry about your wonderful companion, Bo. We lost our 19 year old almost 2 years ago, we think of her often with great fondness.

Dear chercatz,

How wonderfully precious is your story about your "Bo" your angel kitty. This really touched me and now I am using the Kleenex to wipe away the tears so I can see to type.

Such gifts are these precious feline friends who share our homes, hearts, and our lives. I have outlived many of them now and their memories still linger after all of these years. I have four now...including our 16 year old girl. It won't be much longer for her, but I know that I much cherish the moments each day for truly we are all on borrowed time.

Life has been the richer and I have grown to be wiser through the companionship of my dear kitties. We got our first 44 years ago right after our honeymoon. In many ways my feline companions have taught me how to love. So much was learned, shared, and is missing now as I miss each one...but so well remembered...

Bless you for sharing-your feelings and heart with us. Please click on my thumbnails below, especially the kitty hole. Thanks.

Sounds like Bo was a sweet, sweet baby.
Hearing about the passing of others pets always breaks my heart. :(
Our babies our family, and so hard to lose.
RIP sweet BO.

thank you to all of you that responded to my story about my baby "Bo".

I must apologize for not being online here lately as life has made me very busy and I have tried putting my mind to other matters so that the crying could subside and my thoughts could bring back happier memories! But I am glad to be back to read all of the precious responses to my baby's story and how much I appreciate all of you!

I must tell all of you by name how much your responses to my loss touched me, and know that all of the mommies and daddies of our precious babies out there are of one heart. That is not to say that our human loved ones mean anything at all less, but the love of our pets is something that is given to us to be cared for in a way like no other. To all of my new friends and "family" here at Pet Talk, a very warm and grateful heartfelt 'Thank you' for your thoughts and concern...
