Prayers to you and Twicket. His skinny frame reminds me of Kuhio in her 17th year. She had a hyperthyroid though. I'm glad that Twicket is relatively healthy. Have you tried Nutri-Cal? It is a high calorie paste that he might eat. Kuhio would eat some, but not a lot. Towards the end, I minced up fatty lunch meat and cheese to try to keep some weight on her.
Y'know, every day for the last two years, I have wondered how anyone could have left him behind. How do you have an animal for 13 years and just leave it at the shelter? I couldn't sleep at night! I have enough trouble letting my fosters go! I couldn't have let Twicket go 5 minutes after he arrived here!Quote:

I wish you as much time as possible with Twicket. Treasure each moment. And give him a kiss from me.
I have a friend who calls this "bonus time". I kind like that! I'm trying to worry about him leaving and enjoy his sweet self while he's here. I've been making a point of just sitting and holding him for as long as he will stay on my chest. Sometimes that means not much gets done in the evenings!
Thank you all so very much for your support. It means the world to me.
I'm sad to hear about Twicket getting old. But I'm very happy to see what you do for him every minute now. You give him the best years of his life. I hope you can still share long months and years together. We can see how Twicket is so happy now.
Some LES :cool: setting in here ...
Try not to count *down* the days till Twicket says g-bye ~
but continue to count *UP* the many hours of Love & Joy he's
shared with you.
We'll pray that number gets so big you loose count enjoying him.
{{{Hugs}}} for Twicket! ;)

Oh, man, this is making me cry. I think Twicket is one of the prettiest cats I've ever seen, and, your stories and photos of him have always been ones I've looked forward to and loved reading. I know what you mean about hoping you don't have to make the decision for when it's time. My cat, Dusty, fell asleep on his favorite chair, next to my dad's, on my dad's birthday. I knew he wouldn't ask for permission to go, I always kinda knew he'd just go to sleep. He was always so dignified, and, Twicket reminds me somehow of Dusty. You've done so good by this cat. He's had a better life in the last couple years with you than some cats ever experience. You are both lucky to have found eachother, and, I'm sorry to hear his time may be coming to an end. Can I say that I love Twicket, too?
This made me cry, too. I know how sad it is when our loved ones become frail and more dependent on us and in your and Twicket's case it is more poignant than ever. You've had such a short time together (comparitively) that you need each other more than if you had spent his whole lifetime together.
He is so lucky to have found a loving home and tender care; you are lucky to have his devotion. You want him around for a long time, yet you don't want him to have a less-than-good quality of life and you certainly don't want him to suffer.
Just love him all you can while you have him.
I, too, cannot imagine giving up any of my darlings. What a cruel, cold act of abandonment. May it haunt him/her forever.
Sweet hugs to a beautiful gentleman, and to you.
LES here too! Try to enjoy the time that you have with him, may it be many, many more months and hopefully years!! Twicket you are a beautiful boy and you are so loved!! None of us know how long we will be here, so each and every day needs to be enjoyed to the utmost!
This is just to sad for me to come up with anything.. Just know I hate it as much as you do....
Twicket seems to be happy- and he is happy because of you. That's all that counts. And he is such a cute and handsome boy- just enjoy every moment with him- and I keep my fingers crossed that it may be many many moments to come:)
I hope and pray that Twicket gets to enjoy his time with you
for years to come. He is such a beautiful cat & deserves every
minute of his good life with you.:)
I have adored Twicket since I first laid eyes on him and heard his story. The words that you wrote about him are filled with love and concern. I think you made us all cry.:(
As sad and horrible as it is that his previous *owners* could just give him up to the shelter I'm glad they did. Anyone who could do that would not give this much love and attention to a wonderful senior kitty. Twicket was blessed when his gaurdian Angel came along. We all tend to forget the bad things of the past and remember our most recent events. Twicket will only remember love and tenderness. There is no greater thing that you could have given him.
We love you too sweet Twicket and I pray you have much more time to share your sweet self with your meowmie Angel.
http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/tr...smiley-002.gif My dear, dear sweet Twicket. How I have loved you from day one. You have been one of my favorite kitties for the past few years. You are just too darn adorable and I just can't get enough of your sweet kissable face.
Take one day at a time Glacier with your precious Twicket and I know you are enjoying every moment with this sweet boy.
Prayers and positive thoughts on the way that you have more years with him.
After having such an adorable cat for 13 years and then just dump him at a shelter for God knows what reason, is beyond me.
But I am so glad that he got adopted out to such a loving, caring home.
Headbumpies and kisses to you sweetie.
I'm so sorry, honey. :(
Prayers and good thoughts going to Twicket.
Hugs,
Kelly
Headbumpies to Twicket!
