Just thought I'd give an update and share a couple  pics of Moxie's resting place. He's buried under the iron cross just to the left of the gardenia bush. It's lit up in the evenings like other parts of our landscaping. He was, after all, part of the landscape here for many years himself. We...

Buddy was a great looking cat. My wife calls those kind "tuxedo cats". She says they are above average intelligence. I'm sure you will miss him greatly. I'm so sorry for your loss. 3 yrs. is too young.  

PUSSIKINS, I'm so sorry. I know your hurting becaue I just went through it on 4/7. These furry friends of ours become so intrinsically a part of our lives. We get so used to having them to love every day. We are forced to adjust to a "new normal" of them not being by our side. The best I can...

Thank you all so much for the sentiments. I know many here have already gone down this path. It will be rough going for a while because Moxie was such a presence around here for so many years. Lots of joy, laughs, entertainment and love. He was one of those cats who was a "people person". He was...

Miss E, I just had to make the decision to end my Moxie's suffering last Sunday. He was about the same age as your boy Jack. Jack looks like he was a real sweet boy. Like you said, "he was always by my side'. I can really relate to that. It hurts more than we expect when we lose them. Even...

Cailea, Abby looks like she was a real sweetheart. I'm literally feeling your pain as I'm going through losing my Moxie just yesterday. Plenty of heavy hearts to go around. We also lost another dearly loved cat at 8 yrs.old. However long they live, it's never long enough. You are in my prayers...

On a Sunday morning in Oct.1997 I awoke and while having coffee I looked out my back kitchen door window. I saw just a small gold & white tail protruding from behind my gas grill. I called my wife to the kitchen, then went out and found this beautiful little kitten, no more than 6 weeks old. He...

I'm having my beloved buddy Moxie put to sleep Sunday afternoon. I'm using a vet that specializes in "at-home" euthanasia. The time is here. I'm about all cried out (but not quite, I'm afraid). I'll make an appropriate post in the "crossing the bridge" forum after the weekend.

Thanks blue, It's really tough right now. My wife and I were both crying a bit discussing Moxie's fate today. I did speak with the vet. The vet knows how he is without the stress of a forced visit. I've been very thorough in explaining his condition to her. He has a difficult time when I give...

So sorry about Mr. Brody. Having been through it many times, I know you're hurting. Cherish the memories.  

chichismom, I 'm so sorry about your cat. We had a similar looking black tabby that died at 8 yrs. old. He seemed fine the night before and our next door neighbor found him at the edge of her patio the next morning. He looked beautiful without a mark on him. The vet told me it was probably a...

Update: Moxie has gotten more swollen from the anemia. In an effort to help him not get constipated with iron supplementation, we have had him eating only canned food. This, combined with his limited activity (practically none) has resulted in him gaining fat weight as well. So, now he's both...

Thanks to all who've responded. The slight swelling in Moxie's front legs that I noticed yesterday is now gone. He's had a good appetite today and spent a good bit of the day sleeping/getting sun in our rose bed. He's been slowing down for the last year or so which makes it harder to determine...
