Recently, April 1st of this year I had to put down a homeless feral that I had been taking care of for almost 5 years. It was after 4 years that he finally trusted me enough to let me touch him. After 4 /1/2 years of surviving the wild his health got the best of him and he was in bad shape despite my efforts in trying to care for him at a distance. he ate the best food, had the care I could provide and he was the toughest cat I ever knew surviving 4 harsh cold winters, fights with other animals and cats his body just got tired.
I made the decision to not let him suffer anymore and was able to get him into my shed were I had animal control pick him up. I will always remember his last moments with me was a soft scratch on his badly diseased head which he rolled over. His rub up against my arm as I fed him. A moment I will never forget.
I took the responsibility for this cat that nobody wanted and just threw away and dedicated myself to giving him whatever happiness I could before it was time for Bastet to call him home.
I decided since he never had a "real" home I had him cremated and he now lays peacefully in my room where my other cat (who he was best friends with behind a screen door) can be with each other all the time now. I loved him very much. We formed a bond that most people cannot form with feral cats. I sensed he knew it was his time to go home that day and I pray each and every day I will see him again.
His name was "Mau".
I made this video in honor of him but anyone who has lost a cat may use this video to remember their loved on. I hope it touches you as it does me. Let me know what you think.
UPDATED. Had a few mistakes on the last video revised it. It's now correct. Sorry!
