Hey guys, if anyone's still following this, I was wondering if you'd like to help me pick a picture of Jasper to print? There's a couple I've been trying to decide between, but I'm open to suggestions. :) Nick's been no help at all--I think he loves our babies just a little bit differently (more like pets than like family) so he kinda just lets me do my thing. :p
These are the pictures I'm stuck on:
But again, I'm open to suggestions. I have so many, it's hard to pick just one. :/

how can you pick one, every picture is sweet and special. He really was a very beautiful kitty. I am so sad you lost the little guy but happy that he was so loved.

I'm making a kitty photo album for all of my current and future kitty photos, so they'll all be on there, but I want to print one to frame :)
He's gone far too soon, but I'll make sure he's remembered

So sorry to hear about your loss.  Jasper was an adorable little guy and was obviously very well loved. He looks so happy and content in each of those pictures you posted.  I hope you are able to continue to find joy in the memories you have of him and to feel the love that you both shared for each other.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I really like that second picture too. He was adorable. RIP Jasper.

I like the second picture as well :)

Just wanted to talk about a couple of things. You mentioned feeling selfish about him being that special cat. Please don't. We feel what we feel. My Lucky was my feline soul-mate. There just isn't any denying that, and his loss has just gutted me. They are are special, but I had a bond with him that I didn't have with any other, and won't ever have. Lucky came into my life at a time I was very vulnerable, suffering from depression - he saved me, more than the other way around. So yeah, don't feel bad about that.

And also, I had a photo blanket made of Lucky after he died. I was so torn between pictures that I had one blanket with my favorite picture of him, and another blanket with two pics of him and my little boys. They're 8 months old now but they were probably 4-5 months old at the time. I'll probably had another made at some point. My boys have had WAY too much fun clawing at the blanket with my favorite picture. I had thought about putting it away somewhere, but then I realized I didn't get it so it could sit in a closet somewhere.

I think that's part of why I've been so hesitant to get another cat, even now that I've accepted that it wouldn't be a betrayal (I think you were on that thread?). I know I'll still love every cat I ever have, but I don't know if I'll ever have that strong of a bond again. Even Ruby, who I love to pieces, I know I don't have that kind of a bond with her and I probably never will.
It just shatters me, thinking I'll never have that again. What if Jasper was it? What if he was my feline soul mate? He was in my life for such a short time, and it just wrecks me thinking that those few months were the only time I'll ever feel that kind of love. That's why I feel so selfish. Not because he was that special cat, but because I'm terrified that he was.
