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.

Slick, Thanks for telling us about his passing and for posting these heartwarming pictures of him under the tree and with you holding him in your arms. I know that this must've been very difficult for you. You can tell that you both had a very strong bond and don't be surprised if you see him some time in your condo. I know that your home feels very empty now but eventually when you're ready I know that you'll find a very special kitty to share your life with again. You just need to grieve now but please take care of yourself. (((HUGS)))

He was so beautiful! I can see why he was so special to you. The special ones are still with us in our hearts and what really matters never really ends. My thoughts and prayers are still with you and Max.

Thank you for posting all these pictures. I am proud to know that Max has been in my arms too- and I still think I can feel him.
I know the story very well and I am happy that he had the chance to pass in a dignified way and could say goodbye to some of his friends.
It will be a tough weekend for you.
Sending my and Siegmar's hugs to you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Knowing I am facing this same issue, I have tried to avoid this forum... but I felt so strongly about letting you know that I was thinking of you that I had to let you know.

Our heart kitties sure do know how to grab hold of our heartstrings, don't they?

Sweet Slick, no one will ever convince me that Max wasn't winking at you. It was his way of saying "It's ok, Mom; you're doing the right thing". Such a beautiful, soft, sweet boy who was so fortunate to have such a loving, compassionate, dear Mom. Right now your pain is almost palpable but Max feels no pain, no anguish, no sorrow, nothing but peace. My Puddy, Pidgie and Peeka were all there to greet him as were all the other RB kitties. What a welcoming kitty committee! We've all been blessed by knowing Max and you, Slick. One day without even realizing it your mourning will find itself without you and it will become a bright morning sunkissed w/loving memories of dear Max. It will happen. Keep the faythe.

Thank you for posting the pictures. Max is so sweet there helping decorate the Christmas tree, I love the first one, and also the last in your mother's arms. He does look like he is winking.

Max went in style and he got to say goodbye to his friends. I'm glad that Dr. Singh could come to your home, that must have made a huge difference for both Max and you.

Slick, you have done everything right, and I am sure Max loves you for that. He is now resting at the RB and will soon be romping around with the other kitties. Pjevs will be there to show him around.

Sleep softly, dear Max!

I'm here for you if you need to talk. Take care!

Love and hugs... and purrs,

Randi & Fister

Ah, thank you for posting Sir Max's pictures. I'm sure he was winking at you in the last picture. He left surrounded by love!!! He's probably swaggering all over the RB telling how wonderful his life was with you. He will surely have a paw in picking out any future kitties you share your life with when the time comes.

[phesina]

Oh, what a beautiful boy, and what wonderful pictures to have of him. Yes, I think he is winking at you in that last one.

All my love and sympathy,
Pat

Slick, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you. {{MANY HUGS}}.

Rest In Peace, Max.

Theres a paragraph written by the late Cleveland Amory after his Beloved Polar Bear passed on.
I can only describe it as living in a void. I did not want to ne anywhere else, but neither did I want to be there.
It was not just that Polar Bear was not there - it was the awful over whelming weight of knowing that he was never going to be there again.
I have a feeling that may be why I have so many Found Cats is that I dont have the courage to enter an empty home.
We are sending our prayers to you Slick, that one day Max and Spreckles will send a Cat who needs love and a Furrever Home to you, when the time is right.

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh Slick, take time and grieve for your beautiful boy. You did everything right for him. These cuddly picture on his last day are just adorable.

[mruffruff]

Max is at peace; may you find some for yourself.

I followed his journey without commenting, because I didn't know what to say. I knew he was in the best hands possible. All I could do was silently send prayers.

I hope you can find solace.

My dear heart sister. I wanted to post earlier but couldn't. I started to call you but then we would both start bawling. I would be there to hold you if I could, but I can in my heart and you know that I do. Our vet has come to our home, sadly, several times now and I think that is a precious thing... for you, me, mine and your dear Max. I will call you... but I will just give you some quiet time with your thoughts first.

Slick,

There is an extra special bond between a 'heart cat' and their human.

It transcends space and time. You are bonded together eternally.

Max is with you, but on a different plane now, but that's not forever. That's just because his body gave out.
There will be a time, for that Grand Reunion. One Fine Day.
