My gorgeous Chartreuse cat, "Kato" passed away due to a stroke on 05/12/05. It was so HARD for me to know I was about to lose him, but I knew he was going to die. The vet couldn't help him. He was born on Valentine's Day 1995 in Saugerties, NY. After he died, he was buried in my mother's yard in Kingston, NY. He was 10 yrs. old. Kato was like my child, and the best part of the family. Our bond was even more special after I had a hysterectomy at 33. Kato was protective of me, growling at any knock at the door and sleeping beside me. He was named after Bruce Lee's "Green Hornet" character, and he resembled the handsome, stealth cat in "Pet Cemetery." He was unique and intelligent, playing fetch, dropping batteries and bottlecaps in my shoes for fun, sleeping in the sink and opening the refrigerator. After his stroke, he couldn't eat, walk, stand or hold up his head. I cried my eyes out just seeing him like that. I know I should remember the GOOD times, but even those memories are painful to me. I miss him and love him so much and I always will. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SENDS ME THEIR KIND WORDS AND SYMPATHIES!!
