Happy Birthday Texas!

Today is my senior statesman's birthday. Texas is 14 years old. Sadly, Tex just isn't in the best of health anymore. He has a thyroid condition that is tough to manage, in the middle stage of kidney failure, and has dropped down to 6 pounds. While I want him with me forever, I know that isn't in the cards.

Tex was my first tuxie, adopted from a shelter in Massachusetts. I used to call Tex my 'suitcase cat' as no matter where I went- moving, vacation, visits, Tex was just fine and dandy with it. He has welcomed every single kitty into the home, even a doggie or two, without a hitch. He is my alpha boy (though Montie is struggling with that) and will only let Georgia, his first love, eat his special wet food. I love him more than humanly possible. Here is one of my all time favorite pics of Tex, which I have posted before. This picture is probably 8 years old, and one of Tex's favorite positions- coiled in the hose, outside (I was out with him).

Happy Birthday, Tex! Mommy loves you!

It is sad,and frustrating,at the same time,when A Beloved Companion,starts,to show signs,that they will not,be with us forever.And Tex,is such a Wonderful Cat,and we hope,that he has a few more years,before that job,opens up,for him,at thr Rainbow Bridge,where he will be a Pet Talker Angel,for Eternity.

You look so much much like Pjevs in the backyard and sound just as sweet. :) Have a wonderful day, gorgeous boy! I'm sure you'll get lots of cuddles. In spite of your health problems, I hope you'll be with your mommy for years to come!!

Oh, TEXAS, I missed wishing you a Happy Birthday!!!! I didn't see the post until this morning! I am sorry to hear you aren't feeling the best, but we know that your meowmie is taking really good care of you! Bless you, sweet Tex, we hope you have sunshine in every window today and maybe one more special treat and a snuggle for birthday wishes the day after from everyone at Cat Happy.

Purrrrs...Bari et al
Tex is on our Tuxie Page: www.cathappy.com/B&W.htm and I think we need more photos from your house!!!
