Our dear little black & white boy, Felix. You brought so much joy and whim to our home. We will always keep you in our hearts.

Blue Eyes picked out his own human. I was going into a store on October 7, 2000 and out front, there were some children giving away kittens that they had in a box. He kept climbing

up me and I picked him up and told him he was cute. I put him back, but he'd have none of it and kept climbing up me until I took him home with me.

He was 2 months old then and tiny. I've never met such a bold little kitten. He never had a fear of anything and this got him into trouble through minor injuries on occasion. He was a good cuddler and would wake me up early in the morning with cuddles and snuggles. I miss those pink nose kisses that he freely gave.

On March 9, 2002, he died in my arms after a short battle with F.I.P. Blue -- I miss your stripies, your "apricot cap", your raccoon kink tail, your pink nose kisses, and most of all, your sweet love that you so freely gave.

I hope you know that even though you were with us only for a short while that you were deeply loved and I will continue to love your spirit. You were the sweetest, most loving kitty I have ever known. Why your time here on Earth had to be so short I don’t think I’ll ever understand. It is so unfair that your physical life was taken from you when you wanted to eat, play, live and love so badly. I’m so, so sorry that there was nothing that I could do to help you when you were so sick. I would have done anything for you. I’m also sorry that I never really got a chance to say goodbye; you went so quickly. The vet thinks that you waited to be away from me to pass over because you didn’t want me to have to see you die. That would be just like you my brave little lion king. So I will say goodbye for now but not forever. I won’t ask you to wait for me because your spirit must be free, but I will say “until we meet again.”

You added immense joy to our lives. We'll never forget your antics, contortions, and climbing. We very much miss your meows, that ever-present purring, and your sweet little face. We're so sorry for what you went through. You taught us so much.

We love you forever -
Gina, Dave, and Angus

Little buddy, I was so looking forward to having you with me for the next 15 years. I would have paid anything to get you cured. I miss your face.

Dear Binksy, thanks for sharing your last weeks with us, they were wonderful but touched with sadness.

You are sorely missed.

Our little angel, you are gone too soon. Your life was barely started. When I adopted you Christmas Eve, I was so happy. I knew how much you loved me and how glad you were to have a home. Dad cries a lot and misses you on his right shoulder. We miss you day and

night. You are everywhere, around every corner, on every chair. I miss your snuggle at night. I miss you mooching off of my plate when I eat. The little bed where you slept is empty. None of the other cats will sleep in it now. Your brother Magic misses you so much. He looks for you everyday and cries hoping you will answer him. But the answer never comes.

I am so sorry that you suffered in the last few hours. Forgive me for forcing medicine down your throat. I know how much you hated it. I love you and miss you more than you know. You took part of my heart with you and it will not be whole again until we are together. I hope you will come back to us soon as a new kitty. That way we can spend a lot more time together. One lifetime is not enough with you, Mystic angel. If I could only hold you and kiss you once more....

Until we meet again.

Mom and Dad (Linda and Rick)

Zoë, you have been a light in our eye and a laughter in our hearts since you first hissed at us. You were so full of energy and life until this horrible disease took over your young little body. We fought for 3 months to save you but nothing could bring back your spunk. We love you and miss you more than any words can say. We know you have to be in a better place but know that there will always be a emptiness for you in our hearts that can never be filled.

This is Abbie Siobhan at 3 months old (7/29/01) weighing less than 1 pound and again on 4/23/02 weighing 14.9 pounds. Abbie was born May 15, 2001 and passed on to the Summerland on April 24, 2002. Abbie was scheduled to be put to sleep 3/11/02 but was full of life so we refused to end her life. She had 6 extra weeks to lay in the sun, lay on the floor in 80 degree weather in front of the screen door and watch the birdies and she terrorized her older brother up until 2 days before her passing. Abbie loved potato chips and unsweetened ice tea. We miss her terribly. But relish in the joy she brought to our home.

Our "crazy" little boy. You were as rotten as they come, but always used your sweet personality to get yourself out of trouble. We will miss your silly antics, and your very vocal opinion of everything. We wish we could have had more time with you, but are thankful for the 2 1/2 years we had. We will take care of your dog and try to keep her in line like you did! She will miss you. I'm sure Grandma will take care of you, and you keep her company.
We love you Mister!
