Lovely Leo

[chocolatepuppy]

Oh Leo, you were so gorgeous! It seems you were very much loved by your humans(s). Thank goodness you were taken off the streets and given such a nice home.
I hope being COTD makes your human smile thinking back about you!

Leo is yet another example of why cats should live forever. Sadly, they do not. We can only make the most of the all-too-short time we have with any feline companion, learn what we can from that shared life, and then pass it on to others.

Dearest Leo, how wonderful the love and companionship you and your Purrrrrson have shared. I'm sorry you couldn't be together longer on this plane, but you are part of each other always, in each other's heart forever. Love is eternal and never dies.

Deepest sympathy to all of you who love and grieve Leo so very much. He is healthy and whole again at the Rainbow Bridge, where he will welcome you Home.. One Fine Day.. and you will never be parted again.

What a beautiful boy Leo is, I'm so sorry he has gone to Rainbow Bridge but I'm sure his spirit will never leave you. Although a short time, you and Leo have had a wonderful life together. Congratulations Leo for being Cat of the Day, you deserve it.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. Both of you were so lucky to find one another and he was a big beautiful guy!

I too had a leukemia positive cat. You would never know he had it until he started getting sick all the time from his immune system being suppressed by the leukemia. And you're right, nobody would take him. He, too, was a stray and I thought he would be better off someplace that knew about this disease. I was wrong. I'm glad nobody would accept him b/c then I kept him and he gave me such great joy. Unfortunately, he was only with me 2 years after being diagnosed. I'm glad you had the chance to enjoy Leo for as long as you did. They are special babies. I'm glad Leo was finally brought in and given the love he deserved. Thank you for being kind enough to keep him and give him a life of love. Congrats on COTD Leo boy.

Dear Leo, beautiful boy~

I'm heartbroken, tears falling, reading your dear Mommy's heart wrenching tribute to her beautiful boy, her Cat of a Lifetime, her furry soul mate. I just lost my own beloved Oliver a weeks ago, and the pain of losing him, and so suddenly (as you were taken), still overwhelms me. And apart from your fur color (he was grey), you and he could be twins, not only in looks (your soft and silky "hair like" coat, your flowing mane), but more importantly in your purely precious and beautiful spirits, your ability to love everyone and everything, completely and unconditionally. And I'm not surprised to hear of your adoring fan club, Leo. Kids especially are keen to sense the goodness and kindness in others, human and 4 legged, and in you they knew they had found a friend.

And I understand your Mommy being tempted to dwell on those 18 months. I don't think there is a fur parent alive who doesn't think..."If only," or "I wish I had..." But I hope she won't, for no kitty was ever more loved, more cherished than you, Leo; not in those transitional 18 mos., nor the happy, love filled 5 years that followed. As she says, you gave each other the best you had to give, and no living creature, human or 4 legged, can ask for more than that. I only wish your time together had been longer. Please send down extra big helpings of love to your Mommy, Leo, to comfort her until that wonderful, joyful day when you and she are together again. Until then, I know my Oiver, and all of our beloved fur angels, will be watching over you.

To Leo's Mommy...Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your beautiful best friend with us. He was truly one in a million, a Cat of a Lifetime, and it has hbeen an honor to have had the chance to pay tribute to him, and to the very special bond of love you shared.

Leo was a beautiful cat and so fortunate that you two found each other. I am so sorry for your loss. Congrats on his being COTD.

Leo, sure was a very handsome boy. I'm so sorry that he was sick and had to leave you way too soon. You'll both meet again some day. RIP sweet Leo. Congrats on being COTD!!!
