Rest in peace, my dearest, dearest sweet Simon.
We let him go today just past noon.
His rapid decline ended with him staggering around the house this morning, blind and disoriented. A mere shadow of the fat, healthy, energetic, and beautiful cat I have always known. It was most likely bone cancer that took him. We could not afford a verified diagnosis, and why prolong his suffering.
I could post more pictures of him, but instead here is a video we made of him in May of 2008, on his 14th birthday.
I will love him always.
I’m so sorry to hear this, Jane. I know he meant a great deal to you and has been with you for many years.
I am so, so sorry for your loss. 🙁 *HUG*
I am so sorry for your family’s loss and I will miss that handsome, personable bugger. I also want to say how glad I am that you were able to let go when he needed to go. It’s so hard, but it’s the best way to honor our friends.
so so sorry for you guys. i even felt like i knew that kitty, such a sad loss for your family!
Simon is with Buffy and Merlin now waiting for us. I do believe that these animals that exhibit God’s unconditional love will be there with us in the next stage of our lives. I weep with you because I know he is missed. Love, mom
