Goodbuy my Friend I know you are in Heaven

[Mak]

I'm so very sorry! I know how hard it is. I had a tuxedo similar to Oliver for 15 years. We lost him 2 years ago to cancer, and I still cry when I think about him. He was one of the special ones. No matter how many we have, some just are harder to lose than other. Not that any are easy. Just know you did the best for him you could and remember the good times.

My heart aches for your loss, Omran -- I've been there (more times than I care to dwell on at the moment). For such small creatures, they certainly do take up lots of room in our hearts. Cry when you need to. Smile and laugh when you are able to. Remember Oliver and everything he meant (and will always mean) to you, and honor his memory by loving another -- not in his PLACE, but in his HONOR. I hope the day comes soon when thoughts of Oliver bring only smiles and the warmth of the love you shared with him.

Dear Friends, each and every one of you are great members of my Family, and I swear by god it ment the world to me to hear from all of you, I would like to thank you all for your Kidness and support, and I know things will get easier when time pass, I have my Oliver between his two Colorado blue spruce trees barried, and I am going to build a light house for him and plant some roses when weather permit, and like you guys said, he is waiting for me and he is not suffering anymore, his memories are all over the place, in my house in the truck, in the chickens coop, in the garage and on every squer feet of the farm, and ofcourse in my Heart.
God bless you all.

Omran.

Omran, I don't know you, but I feel your loss. I lost my beloved Athena, a tuxedo kitty, last Sept. She was 14 1/2. She had Chronic Renal Failure. It was so hard to make the decision to let her go, but I know it was the right one. She was suffering, and I couldn't let her suffer.
Must be something special about tuxes. I have NEVER loved a cat like I loved her. I had tamed her from the wild in my backyard. She was a longhaired tux. I still cry over her. She is buried between a statue of St Francis of Assisi and a huge boulder that is in front of the porch where we enjoyed sitting on the swing together.
Anyway, this is not about me, but about you. I hope you can find it in your heart to adopt another kitty. Not that another could take Oliver's place, but because he would want you to share your home and your love with another kitty. I swear Athena sent me the two kittens I found after her passing, Venus and Sheba. Sheba is black and white, longhaired also, and Venus is grey and white, longhaired. I found them on CL. The guy from CL was going to THROW THEM AWAY!!!

They were covered in fleas, and starving. Sheba is a tux that could be Athena's sister. She will NEVER take Athena's place, and NEVER EVER lessen the love I felt for Athena, but she is making it easier to bear with all her antics and loving. Between Venus and Sheba, they make it easier to bear. Like I said, they will never take Athena's place, because they have totally different personalities, but I REALLY FEEL Athena sent them to me!
I hope you eventually remember Oliver with a smile, but it will take time. Cry all you want. It takes a strong man to cry, and even stronger to admit it!

P.S. I have a Himalayan that's going on 20!


Hugs and Purrs,
Jen, Angel Athena, Venus and Sheba
