Lizzie, I am so very sorry about Dude. What a beautiful boy kitty. I hope that you find comfort in knowing that he loves you so much and you love him too. Please call me if you need anything and I am hoping that life takes a good turn for you. I know things have been tough within your family, and one loss after another makes it even harder to understand. I hope that you know that I care about you and am thinking of you as well. HUGS Katie and kitties

RIP Dude. Please play with Chance when you are there. He will greet you with warm kitty kisses...

Lizzie, I'm so sorry to hear about Dude. I hope that you'll be able to make him as comfortable as possible during the time that he has left with you. RIP sweet boy.

Dude has been on my mind these past several days and a special prayer was offered for him in church this morning. How is he doing today?

I would love, I long for, one more time of his sitting on my lap while I'm on this computer, leaning into my body, I can feel him there as I write. It would be selfish of me to scoop him up now and sit him here, so I'll leave him where he feels most comfortable. By this evening, memories will be all I have, and then next week a box to put on a shelf of boxes with photos.

I always tuck in something special to the cat when I wrap them in their blanket before returning them to the vet, after it's over. I've been reassured that isn't disturbed. Dude didn't like toys that much so I'm cutting off a small lock of my hair to tuck in with him, and some dark red quince blossoms.
