Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2006Rest in peace my little dudley...
Jasper Dudley passed in his sleep last night. Thank the blessed kitty gods for taking him in a relatively peaceful manner. Last night Tim and I made "the decision" and were getting up this morning to take him in. I guess we were pretty right on with when it was "time" and though my heart is pretty much crumbled into a jillion pieces, I am so relieved that he is at peace. Pam I am sooooo sorry, Pam. I know how much you loved him and what good care you took of him. Gail > Jasper Dudley passed in his sleep last night. Thank the blessed kitty gods > for taking him in a relatively peaceful manner.

I guess I haven't been keeping up, I see you had posted a few weeks ago, you probably told about his condition back then. It helped me one time to write a poem about my cat. It was a song actually. A lot of people don't understand just how close we get to our little friends. Please take care Best to you and yours > Jasper Dudley passed in his sleep last night.

Oh God, Pam, I am both relieved that you did not have to make the choice, and in tears at the same time, for the loss of Jasper Dudley. I know you will be hurting for a long time, and missing him. Maybe it will help a little to remember that you took him from where he stood, lonely and confused, on an empty hospital bed that his human, who had died, used to sleep on. You pampered him and loved him, gave him good company, even Luna, another cat to play with. There can be no cat as lucky as Jasperduds, Pam. He was a good boy and a brave boy and although I know he did not want to leave you, it is so good that he passed peacefully. He really knew he was love. So many cats never know that. Love and healing prayers to you and Tim, you are both such fine people to take this elderly blind and deaf cat and make the rest of his life so nice. When you can stand to, maybe post the link to your favorite Dudley pictures. He was so beautiful, too. Thank you all. I showed all of your messages to my husband as well and he appreciates it just as much. It's a funny little community of cat lovers we have here, but hey, it works. I depended on this group for advice and support for almost the entire time we had Dudley. We brought him to the vet today so he could be taken to the crematory. We chose a special urn for his ashes and kissed him goodbye. Then, I went to work and finished out my day (only missed one of my 6 classes) and somehow, the zany kids I teach managed to make me feel somewhat better. :) Of course, when I got home, I fell to pieces. Tim had already cleaned up the room and even took the rug out since he had peed on it a number of times last night. (Last nite was the first time he EVER didn't use the litter box...and he even tried to get there...we saw him try!!) Dudley was a fighter and a champ and we are crushed. We miss him and love him and hey, at least he can see what we look like now, since his sight was thankfully restored at the bridge!!! :) I have this magnet I bought a while ago..it is a seal point just like dudley...with wings and a halo...and underneath it says "Angels are watching over me!" And now it's really true! > Of course, when I got home, I fell to pieces. Tim had already cleaned up > the room and even took the rug out since he had peed on it a number of > times last night.

He was a good sweet soul. > Dudley was a fighter and a champ and we are crushed.

How is Luna? >>Of course, when I got home, I fell to pieces.

Ahhh my LunaLove. She never cared much for Duds. So I don't think she will be really depressed...though you never really know. I can tell she senses things are different. She probably expects him to pop up at any time. I'm not sure she'll care that he wont. She is really the type of cat that should be the only cat...so all things considered she tolerated him pretty well. I am so glad we have her though. She's a pill...but I adore her. I will be smothering her as much as she'll allow. sorry for top posting, im bushed at the moment don't you have another cat, sure you do how is your other cat so far... I'm sure you share in her loss too... cybercat can write beautiful poems, I wish she would post one if she did, I would try to wrap some chords around it... > Thank you all.

Making the "decision" when to do it is always the most stressful. My sincere condolences and I hope your happy memories of such a special boy will soon outweigh your pain at his loss.

Hold Luna tight and give her all the love you have running over for Jasper, and we're sending hope that you'll pull each other through the hard times.  SignatureCheryl I'm sorry to hear the news, Pam. I was hoping for a miracle. I guess even miracle cats like Dudley have to leave us. He sounded like a special boy, Pam. I'm glad he found you. I'm sure he added a lot to your lives. When you feel better, I'd love to hear all about him. Maybe you could post his story. I've been off and on the group and I'd love to hear how he came to you and how special he was. Take care, Rhonda > Jasper Dudley passed in his sleep last night.

I will definitely do that...I know I posted it a while back but he deserves having his little story retold. :) http://public.fotki.com/kitkatluna/animals/ you can see pix of luna and dudley in this album. :) "Kitkat" <kitkatluna@aol.commie> wrote > I will definitely do that...I know I posted it a while back but he > deserves having his little story retold. :) > > http://public.fotki.com/kitkatluna/animals/ He's just so beautiful!!

I loved that picture in the laundry basket! And the picture of Luna batting him on the head with a wild animal snarl on her face just cracked me up. Can't wait to read his story!
