Somehow, I knew my friend Mary would have to comment on Casper, just as I find myself having to write a few words about this beautifully handsome kitty who passed before his time to something he should not have had. My Beloved Savior, Jesus, said the rain falls on the just and the unjust and the sun does so, too. That's the only way I can live with the pain I, and many I know, have gone through in this life. Sounds like Casper was quite the kittykens. I like how he was defensive of his family and especially about how the babysitter got swatted on his behind. Casper knew his weak spot, huh?
When I first saw Casper's photo, I thought, "Here's a kitty who favors my daughter's kitty 'Duncan' and I'll put him on my dog/cat/pet screen saver," and then I saw he had passed on. I can't make myself go ahead and do it now as each time his photo comes up, I'll feel a little sad and since I deal with hormonal depression on a daily basis, I tend to shy away from anything which might make me feel sad, and seeing Casper would do that. He certainly was a wonderful kitty, though, and he must have kept you folks on your toes.
May the Lord bless you folks for the life you gave to your boy Casper. I like loud-purring kitties and Casper apparently was one of those. I'd love to have heard him purr as each kitty's purr is a little different from another's.
Take care and thank you for sharing Casper with us. Although knowing he has passed has made me sad, I did enjoy hearing of his life with you. May you know Jesus as Savior before you leave this earth, unless you already do. If so, I'll see you, and Casper, at Home some day when it's all said and done.
My love to all in Jesus,
