Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2006Saying Goodbye To Jason
On Sunday, my husband, Michael, and I spent most of the day alternating between crying and remembering Jason, a cat I found half-starved and scrounging for food in September of 05. He was the most affectionate cat we've ever seen, preferring my lap while I was working and a comfy spot between us both in bed at night. Many mornings we woke up with Jason looking at us, one of his paws resting gently on top of our hands. We never could figure out how such a sweet cat could have ended up outside and alone, and we both feel lucky to have had him with us for the time we did. A few months back he started having health problems. Nothing too severe, but we knew something wasn't right. After a lot of trips to the vet trying to uncover what was happening, it turned out to be cancer pushing against his spine. He gradually lost complete function of his back legs, and spent his last month stylishly lounging around the house in cat diapers. He was sweet, affectionate and loving till the moment we said "Goodbye" on Sunday. I want to thank the people in this group who helped me. I am soo sorry for the loss of this beloved pet.

And he had 10 years of love and affection remember that I will ask my Furballs to send purrs for you and him He sounds like a real character. Take it from me. You will remember in time only the good times and be glad that he was a part of your lives Lesley > He was sweet, affectionate and loving till the moment we said "Goodbye" > on Sunday. I'm so sorry for your loss, Paige. Jason sounds like a particularly sweet little soul. I'm so glad you made his last year of life so wonderful, and I have no doubt that he knew he was loved. Paige It really makes you wonder why these people give up these loving kitties, doesn't it? I adoped a kitty a year and a half ago [my first adult adoption at age 3] and he is the most purrfect kitty I have ever had! So well behaved, affectionate and appreciative of every thing he gets! What a doll! Please adopt another and give your love again. > On Sunday, my husband, Michael, and I spent most of the day alternating > between crying and remembering Jason, a cat I found half-starved and [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > I want to thank the people in this group who helped me. Sounds like you gave Jason a great life and he was lucky to have you. You have my condolences. Stacia Paige, I am so sorry to hear about Jason. I hope the memories of all the joy he brought you helps during this difficult time.

It was heartening to read your post, Paige, that you took in this cat and gave him such a nice retirement before he had to leave. How wonderful that he was comfy and well-fed and had a lap for his last year. I'm sorry he had to leave so soon, but you did right by him. Take care, Rhonda > On Sunday, my husband, Michael, and I spent most of the day alternating > between crying and remembering Jason, a cat I found half-starved and [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > I want to thank the people in this group who helped me. > We never could figure out how such a sweet cat could have ended up > outside and alone, and we both feel lucky to have had him with us for > the time we did. > > He was sweet, affectionate and loving till the moment we said "Goodbye" > on Sunday. I'm very sorry, Paige. You did everything possible for the little guy. I'm so glad you found him. It sounds like he had a wonderful home with you. Candace > On Sunday, my husband, Michael, and I spent most of the day alternating > between crying and remembering Jason, a cat I found half-starved and > scrounging for food in September of 05. Oh Paige, I am so sorry. I lost my sweet dog Tosh to a spinal tumor too - much in the same manner. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that Jason had a good life over the last year. -L. >On Sunday, my husband, Michael, and I spent most of the day alternating >between crying and remembering Jason, a cat I found half-starved and [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >I want to thank the people in this group who helped me. I'm sorry about Jason. It's miserable to have these lovable pets whose life span is so short. It's especially sad in your situation, since you had him for such a short time. But you gave him a taste of the good life, so he lived and died knowing that somebody really cared. That counts for something. Charlie Paige, I know all too well how you feel; I've had to euthanize three of mine and I have lost two to illness, one last July who was my baby for 16 years. To be brief, he passed away at the vet on a Sunday and I did not find out until the next day. I am, to this day, riddled with guilt for not going to visit him. I did not because he did not like cages and I did not want to upset him. It literally makes me sick to my stomach to think about him passing away in that cage alone without me being there with him. Must stop now... Anyways, one of the things that helped me begin to cope with the loss of my babies was to put together a photo album of all pictures of the fur baby either by him/her self or playing with one of his/her other "siblings" at any given time. It helped me to remember what fun they were for me and for the "sibling". It helps to be able to see their faces and their eyes to see what beautiful souls my babies (and all kitties) had. They were with me when I was single and were my company on many nights sitting home. I preferred their company over a man's any day of the week, until I met my husband, of course :^). Thank goodness he is also a cat lover. Thank you so much for giving this wonderful, gentle, loving kitty a good home for 11 years of his life. I have no doubt he is resting in peace, very happy and quite content because of the love you and your husband gave him. When you all are ready, look at his pictures and look into his eyes...you will see how much he truly and deeply loved you all. Many human and kitty blessings to you.

Rich Hello Paige What a beautiful and sweet kitty! As cruel as it was for someone to dump him, it ended up being a blessing for you and your husband and for Jason. Many blessings to you! Deeanna > Hello everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thank you again.... What a beautiful and loving cat. Looks like he was a real sweetie. Rhonda > Hello everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thank you again.... > Hello everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thank you again.... OMG. What a sweetheart. I have tears in my eyes. I lost my baby Dudley just over a month ago. I, too, only had him a short time (2 years) when he passed away just a few weeks shy of his 14th birthday. It still hurts SOOOO much. But, it gets better. Jason looked like a WONDERFUL boy. He just had that contented look in his eyes...despite probably feeling like sh.t. hugs from me! Pam > OMG.

I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken No time to say "Goodbye." You were gone before I knew it. and only Gods knows why. My heart still aches with sadness. and secret tears still flow. What it meant to love you- No one can ever know. But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more: To remember all the happy times. life still has much in store Since you'll never be forgotten. I pledge to you today- A hollowed place within my heart. is where you will always stay.

I tell you, I look at my little Gracie and get choked up just thinking about losing her, and she is only 7. Love is a double-edged sword! (In the sense that nothing can take away that which you have never had. If that makes sense.)
