Our beloved Max, the "Food-Cat", went to the Bridge on Saturday 3/28/09.... he had his share of medical problems over his life, he had Megacolon and had 90% of his colon removed in 2002-- he came back from that and adjusted so well, with his intense love of food, that he ate himself into diabetes- went from twice-daily insulin to reduced doses to once-a-day to off insulin over a 2-year period.... but the megacolon finally got him, he made it six good food-filled years but then he began to lose control of his remaining bowel-- he was uncomfortable a lot of the time, and hated being messy- his GREATEST LOVE was food, he would sing in front of the oven if a ham or a turkey was cooking, he LOVED to eat-- and everything wrong with him, had to do with his diet!.... we taljked over the options, and at 10-1/2, he wasn't a candidate for more surgery and it wouldn't've given him much quality of life anyway-- and, he'd become 'refractory' to the medications he was on-- so, he went to the bridge.... we'll miss him terribly..... he was so loving and SO much fun around food! He had a good life, as long as he could have....
Sleep well, and EAT well, at the Bridge, sweet Max-- please know how much we loved you- you'll be TERRIBLY missed-- wait for us there--
