Today we're saying goodbye to our dear, sweet and grumpy Alexander T. Cat. We're having a vet come to our house in a few hours to put him to sleep. This is one of the hardest days in my whole life. But we want to say a proper goodbye. The tumor in his mouth is growing so very fast, he can't eat much and he's in pain. And it breaks my heart every time I see his bleeding mouth.

I'll sing "You Are My Sunshine" to him a few more times.

May Bast receive him into her embrace. Sympathy to you and Steve, Sofi and Sparticus.

I'm so glad you were able to get a home call vet to come to you.

I am soooo sorry. I know that pain all too well. There is still a big whole in my heart from when I lost my Oz in May. I know when I lost him there wasn't much people could say that made me feel better. I know I found comfort in looking at pictures of him when he was healthy and talking about the fun times we had. May your memories of your kitty cat bring you comfort.

I'm so sorry, Denise.

Poor Xander! I'm so sorry for loss. I know how hard that is. He certainly lived a long and happy life with folks who loved him and spoiled him rotten. I'll always remember how he could open pull-tab cans with his impressive thumbs.

Rest in Peace, handsome Cat.
My deepest love and support to you both.

[greendalek.livejournal.com]

Love to you all hon.

[elgecko.livejournal.com]

*gentle hugs* I'm sorry, dear.

[divineseduction.livejournal.com]

*sniffle* I am so very sorry. There's so many things I could say and none of them seem like enough. I'm glad you got to say goodbye on your terms and that soon he won't be in so much pain.

I'm so sorry. Hugs to you all.

[nisaa.livejournal.com]

This is why I couldn't make your bbq today.

[nisaa.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And I'm so sorry about Oz.

I told a dear friend of mine the other day that I didn't care what she said on the phone, she could even tell me what she had for breakfast that morning and I wouldn't care as long as I heard her voice. No one knows the right thing to say. The only right thing to say is to say something, anything, when we're hurting this much.

[nisaa.livejournal.com]

Thank you for all you did. Your suggestions helped, even if only for a little while. The vet was recommended by Beth Murray. His company is:

He was amazing. Steve asked me to email him after to ask if he would put two pennies in with Alexander's body - part of a Greek tradition. He wrote me back almost immediately. He'll drop off Xander's ashes sometime next week. He was so very kind.

[aquestrian.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry.

[shavenwarthog.livejournal.com]

That Alexander had a full and happy time, enjoying each day with his humans and other fun things in this world, is a good thing.

(my wonderful girlfriend Cindy's cat is in nearly the identical situation. That Lucy's each day is enjoyable is all we ask for, for as long as it lasts.)

my love to you and your wonderful hubby S.

I'm so sorry honey - hugs to you and Jax...I'd never really heard of cancer in kitties until yours and then last week my sister called and said one of my moms has it - so so sad!

[merchimerch.livejournal.com]

-hugs- Peace to all of you, especially sweet Xander mew.

[lsl.livejournal.com]

Love and hugs to all those who are left behind to miss him, I will honor Alexander's memory.

[nisaa.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm so glad you got to say goodbye to him.

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

Entirely understandable. Do what you should to take care of you.

[iterum.livejournal.com]

So sorry; my best wishes for you and Jax.

[ame-chan.livejournal.com]

*hug* love to you both, I'm so sorry.

[simplykimberly.livejournal.com]

((hugs)) and be good to yourselves! It's truly the worst part of loving our furry family - saying goodbye. ((hugs))

[psybelle.livejournal.com]

Many many hugs to all of you.
