Great news about Simon

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry to hear that Simon has passed on but you did the right thing. He'll be missed but never forgotten. RIP sweet boy.

The first time I put down one of my cats,RB Pepper, I was too chicken to be with him so I left the room. Now I've always regretted it. I did stay with Starr and I'll continue to be with any other cat or animal that I have to put to sleep. I'm glad that you decided to be there with him.

I knew you could do it. We're always stronger than we give ourselves credit for. Simon will take a nice rest and then be strong and healthy and play hard again and you helped him get to that beautiful place. RIP, Simon and peace to your humans.

Looking at the time line of this post it has been almost a year since I started it. Simon had stomach problems before as well but the last year was hit or miss for us. He would get better than go back to his problems. It's still hard and we miss him so much already.

I keep wanting to call him. He always came when I called his name and whistled for him. He was a loving cat and would nip my chin sometimes to give me love bites. He liked to be around us but not a clingy kitty and would refuse to sit on our laps. I think he was claustrophobic. He never wanted to be covered up unless he crawled under a blanket himself.

Our other cat is nice but she is not a man's cat. She doesn't want to be played with and is timid. I think my hubby will miss Simon's playfullness. Maybe in the Spring I can talk him into finding another male cat who likes to play.
