I've experienced many such losses...my first furbaby, a kitty cat called Boo-Boo--- who also had many other names :>), and several beloved dogs. My only hope is that one day I will see them all again...heaven or whatever is next wouldn't be the same without them.<br />Try the website THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.

I know e...Hey Donna..so sorry to the news of Neko. I know exactly he games the you talked about, Me and Judy did the same things and her favorite was "The Rub" that one on the nose between the eyes and then when she had enough she would try to attack my hand and then run off --the big scaredy cat chicken. Judy was TJ's and mine for a short while, I had her for about 8 yrs, but TJ didn't have a choice when we got married, but they soon learned to love each other and share me. I have a really good picture of TJ and her sitting together, the cat watching her grade papers, later we found out the cat is the one that actually "eats the homework", not he dog. Another thing our kitty's have in common is that they were both adopted (or did they adopt us?), mine too was dumpster kitty about 4-6 weeks old when I found her in the bushes just oputside my apartment. I had a time coaxing her up the steps to follow me to have some milk. Little by little she would come a bit further each day, finally she crossed the doorstep to get the milk and the rest was history, she was now my indoor kitty. She did manage to get out a few times once me and previous girlfriend (pre marriage to TJ) got a house. You want to know what else our babies have in common with Pumas?? They are very very fast once they get outside the house and back into the "wild". That cat would run me silly chasing her around the neighborhood--up and down the street and then when she thought that I had enough or I would give up--she would just head right back for home like nothing happened. She knew where her meal-ticket was. I had to put Judy down shortly after we had Austin, he does remeber her though. I also have another great picture of her posing on the toilet as if she was getting ready to try it instead of her kitty box. She got that very rare feline kitty cancer that they get (1 out of every umpteen thousands) when they get their shots. Actually this was the 2nd time she had it, we operated once before, but it came back--later I found out that if you don't get it all removed--you piss it off and it comes back later even more aggressively. If I ever have another kitty I promised myself never to have it vaccinated. I tried everything, my vet even made us an appointment with the vets @ Texas A&M University that had discovered the link between the shots and the cancer development(you have to be referred in order to receive treatment and my vet was a former student there as well as myself so they took us). We went down there togethr just Judy and I, Terrianne stayed here at home. They did tests and kept her overnight. Next morning they told me that if they operated on her to remove the tumor there would not be enough cat to put back together and that chemo was not an option. They gave her 2 weeks to 2 years tops to live, worst news I had gotten in a long long time. She did hang on for right at two years and we made the most of it as she felt like doing stuff, then little by little she went down hill and became less and less actve, just not my same old "Judy Kitty" aka Ms. Kitty (from the old show Gun-Smoke). Finally, I had to say my goodbyes to her. TJ went with me and we put her to sleep, I held her little paw as she drew her last breaths and we too kissed goodbye. She looked at me like she was sad, confused and so betrayed, but I knew it was best for her not to suffer in the pain she was going through anylonger. I'm crying again just remembering that day and all the other good memories that I have of her as well. I know that you will miss Neko, you never truly get over losing someone or something that you love so much, but I'm sure you already know that too. I decided to have her cremated and I still have her with me still to this day in a nice box on my dresser. We still have our little talks together sometimes, although she doesn't purr back at me like she used to. I would love to have another kitty and Austin and Kyle really would like one, but TJ says she came into the marriage under the one kitty clause rule, she could stay but after that no more as she is allergic. Well, I wont keep you any longer, but know that we are thinking about you and your kitty. Also congrats on your engagement. No you didn't tell TJ the last time and she was very suprised when she read your email. She will probably write more to you later today or tomorrow. Not to bbring up a sore subject, but when you were married before, did't you have Neko and another cat? I thought I remebered seeing pictures of two kitty's. Let me know if I'm right and what happened to it. Take care for now, and God speed to Neko, maybe he and Judy can hook-up together in kitty heaven and tell some stories about all of us. Wonder what they would be saying, or maybe we don't want to know. We love you and Spencer and wish you all well and hope to see you guys again soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
