My beloved Buster is gone

Unfortunately, I had to put Buster to sleep today. He was diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and lost the battle. He was an amazing cat and the best friend I ever had. He was my first pet and such an important part of my life. I found him on the streets in 2000 and he was with me throughout graduate school. I was hoping he would make it to see me graduate in June but he couldn't. I am so heartbroken right now. I can't stop crying. I love him so much.

So sorry you lost him.
I have been dreading this post since you told me he had 2 weeks to live.
I am glad I got to meet him.
If you need to talk just call.
Do you want me to post on the petloss site for you?

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear, I saw the title, and hoped that it wasn't going to be your Buster

It was an honour to meet him last month, he was such a laidback, gorgeous guy. RIP Buster, play happily over the Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you for your kind words!! I am still so sad and despondent. I keep on thinking about him all night and break down in tears.

Sarah and Jackie - I'm glad that you both were able to meet my wonderful Buster. As you could tell, he was so friendly and social and loved people. Now I'm glad you guys had the chance to experience his love.

I miss him so much

Your post made me cry.
You were right about ho long he had left.
It will be a year Jan 11 since Yoshi was pts.
I know how you feel and wish the chemo had worked.
You did more then alot of people would have.
You gave him a good life and saved him from a bad life.

I'm so sorry that Yoshi's anniversary of his death is coming up so soon. It must be very painful for you too.

I guess the vet was right about Buster's prognosis. I wanted to prove her wrong but I guess she is a good doctor and really knows her stuff.

Buster was acting fine today - he ate, drank, etc. However, he could no longer urinate because the tumor was clogging his urethra, just as the oncologist predicted would happen.

January 5th will be the worst day for me for the rest of my life. I also heard that George W Bush's black cat, India, died today as well. I never knew he had a black cat!

I never new either but it was all over the news.
They were right with Yoshi also.
He had 6 months to 2 years but lasted 8 months.
If you ever need to talk let me know.

This is so sad, i'm so sorry

Watch over your mum at the bridge Buster

Oh, no! Dear sweet Buster! I'm so sorry to hear this news, I can't stop crying!

He was such a sweet, loving boy. It really was an honor to get to meet him, he was such a special cat! I'm glad you got to spend the holidays with him, too. You know you did everything you could for him and always did right by him! He knew he was very loved all the way to the end.

RIP to one of the friendliest, sweetest kitties I've met, Buster!

I'm so sorry for your loss. May Buster RIP.

I am so sorry. He was so blessed by you taking him in and giving him a great life. Bigs hugs to you.

I talked to Sherry last night for a long time time.
She is still very upset and was crying on the phone.
She was glad we all got to meet him at Rosemarys house.

Sherrie, I am so sorry for you about Buster's loss. He was such a regal boy. I am so glad that we all got to meet that special boy at my house. I just told Butzie and she is upset, too, or at least she knows that I am.

I am sorry Buster didn't make it to your graduation. I am sure that Buster is at peace with G_d.

Love,
Rosemary

I so sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace, Buster
