He will be missed more than I can say. I loved him so much. I've had cats all my life and over the last 30 years have had to deal with this same loss...it never gets easier or less painful. I'm a bit of a lurker here and have posted occasionally in the dog and cat sections but I just wanted Charlie's life to be known and celebrated.

What a handsome boy! I am so sorry for your loss and know how it feels to lose such a precious and wonderful friend. We lost one of our boy kitties to cancer too. Charlie's life is surely worth celebrating. He must have been a great friend and feline companion for you and I know you'll miss him much.

Charlies looks a little like Dewey, the Library cat in the picture in my signature.
