Tribute to the sweetest cat I've ever known.

I love my cats very much, but the sweetest cat I've ever known was a big black & white male cat from the shelter. He was about 10 or 11 years old & just got adopted a couple months ago. I just found out last night that he died last week. I was devistated. It was almost like losing one of my own. I cried for at least an hour. He really was the best guy. I'll never forget his world class head butts, the wonderful face & hair washes he would give or the way he would bang on the cage as soon as I walked in the door. I'm so thankful he spent his last couple months in a home where he knew he was loved. I feel so bad for the people that adopted him, I can't even imagine. I didn't sleep much last night because I loved him so much. To me this is one of the hardest parts of doing cat rescue. SO, here's the image I had in my head this morning.

I rolled his cage over the rainbow bridge & opened the door & watched as he ran off through the grass. Untill I see you again big man. R.I.P.

Your post really got to me I let my big, beautiful, tuxedo cross the bridge about 2 months ago - he had FeLV and it was fast and furious. I know what you mean about the head butts - I miss them so much!

So sorry for your loss - sounds like you're having a rough time. I hope you find comfort that he had a loving home before he passed on. I can see him running through the grass and frolicking with all the other big kitties who have passed before him. RIP, sweet guy!

I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad to know the cat had someone who loved him so much. I am partial to black and white cats, especially tuxedos.
They are special. Rest in peace sweet kitty until you meet those who loved you again.

RIP buddy..have fun over the bridge..You will be missed

I am very sorry for the loss of this beloved cat. How great that he spent his last months in a loving home.

I like the little picture of you helping over the bridge to freedom! You will see him again someday!

I'm so very sorry That must have been so upsetting especially after he just found a new home as well

RIP little one and have fun over the bridge

I'm feeling better today, but it was a very sudden death & I was supprised to hear about it. I just needed a little time to grieve. He really was such a great cat.

I am so sorry for your loss. He sounds like an angel! RIP, sweet cat!

You were a very special boy.
RIP darling.
