Prince Max-July 2, 1992-January 15, 2010

[Karen]

Oh Max,
Prince of Hearts,
Benevolent ruler with the velvet paw
Cloud-soft fur and sweet, sweet face
Bestower of blessings, and stray soft furs
Your life was long,
You were greatly loved
And those golden eyes will gleam
In Vicki's dreams forever
Send her soft rumbling purrs in her dreams
And let her know you are okay now
And that when there is a cloud in the sky,
There is where you will be,
Watching over her
Soft as kitten down
Sending her love and comfort.

slick, I am so very sorry, I know how your heart must be torn in two. Sending much love and loving hugs, I only wish I could give them in person.

Rest in peace handsome Prince Max, you are so loved and will be missed so much.

My heart sank as I read this, because I can only imagine how hard it must have been. I'm so sorry and if there is anything I can do at all, I'm just down the road and will come and lend an ear if you need it.

Max was a wonderful kitty, and because he is your heart kitty, he'll never truly be gone.

*HUGS* and prayers for you.

[Freedom]

I am so very sorry that you have to know this pain.

RIP Prince Max.

[Grace]

I'm so very sorry. Max will be with you always.

My heart hurts for you dear friend. I know that Max went across the bridge filled with love that you gave him all of these years.

My eyes are leaking something fierce - so I will post more later.

I am so very sorry that beautiful Sir Max has had to leave you. His memory and the love of him will never leave of course.
I'm with you in spirit tonight.

Slick,

I am writing this through LES. I am so sorry for you and Max.

Max, sweet one, play hard at the RB. Give luvvins to all of our other PT RB babies. They will show you around!

God bless you Slick. (((hugs)))

[Taz_Zoee]

I don't even know what to say. You know I am shedding tons of tears for you.
I am always just a phone call away anytime you need to talk.
My heart is literally breaking all over again with you.

I am so sorry. RIP Max and hugs to you Slick.

[RICHARD]

Slick, I just saw this and want you to knwo that I am thinking about you and hope you realize that what you did was in his best interest.

You gave each other the best possible love and companionship.

Hugs and slugs.

I am so sorry to hear about Prince, please accept my deepest condolences.

To all who replied, I appreciate your thoughts, your hugs, your prayers and most of all your love.

It was a peaceful passing but that doesn't make the pain any less intense. On Friday morning when I got up I had no intention of making the decision that day. Thursday night he didn't eat so I thought I would leave it one more day and if he still didn't eat Friday night then I would call the vet.

I proceeded to get ready for work but before heading into the shower I reached down beside the bed (he loved being squeezed between the bed and the night table) I picked him up and as soon as I looked into his eyes I knew what I had to do. I emailed into work that I would not be in.

I called my neighbour Betty who came over to day good-bye. I called my Mom and she took a cab down here to say good-bye also. I wanted to be alone when he passed so Mom to a cab back home.

After Mom left, I took a brush to Max and brushed him all over. I wanted him to look nice when he met God. Then I sat down on the couch and held him close to my chest where he could feel my heart beat.

Dr. Singh and his assistant arrived at Noon. Max was given the sedative and he silently slipped into sleep. I held him and told him how much I loved him. I told him that I hoped I was the good Meowmie that he deserved. He was then given the final injection and he was gone. I held him for a few more minutes, I rocked him, kissed his little forehead and all of his feet and told him that I would see him when it is my time to go. He was placed in a box wrapped in warm blankets. After Dr Singh left, I fell apart - I fell to the floor and sobbed like a child. It's been so long since I've felt this kind of pain, this kind of emptiness, this kind of loneliness.

Anyway, I had to pull myself together and go to work in the afternoon where I was productive and focussed. However when I got home and opened the door, the apartment seemed so empty, so hollow. You all know what I mean and how I felt and still feel. Yes I know, the pain will subside and I will eventually fill the void with another rescue kitty but for now I grieve, and I grieve big time.

I will post pictures in the next reply.....

I will start with last November when I started putting up the tree.

Can I help decorate????


He decided to check it out even before the decorations were on. Silly boy!


With more decorations on.


Ahhh, that's better. ZZZZZzzzzzz

The following pictures where when he was in my Mom's arms about an hour before he passed on.








I love this one because it looks like he winking.

I have asked for his ashes back. He is my kitty and I need him near me.

Long time no see.
Heard the news from Candace, and made my way here to tell you how sorry I am to hear that you lost your buddy.
Take it easy mate, your kitty is now in a wonderful place playing forever.
