Saying goodbye to Jasper

Lithium

So we have not lost him yet but he is scheduled to be put down August. 2nd... it is very sad. We raised him from a newborn. His mother died during birth and he came to us with his umbilical cord still attached. And if anyone has ever raised a kitten you know what all goes into it- especially from birth. He is part main coon- one of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen. My mom is taking it hard because he lived with her. I am ordering cremation necklaces to place either his ashes or some of his fur in it.... :cry:

Just lost my favorite cat 2 weeks ago. It is tough at times. She went to the barn with me every morning and night no matter what the weather was.
 
Bless You ! I know how hard it is to lose a furry friend . The don't ever ask for much , yet give You so much joy . When they slip away , it leaves such a void . Hopefully You'll soon lose Your sense of loss ,and remember the Joy that Jasper brought into Your life .
All the best , John
 
A soft full tail, exquisite eyes,
soft purring at the door,
playful swatting, frequent naps,
toys strewn across the floor.

With gentle rubs and playful purring
you made your presence known
and, knowing you were always there,
I never felt alone.

You loved it when I scratched your ears,
I swear it made you smile.
I could never stay angry with you,
I couldn’t if I tried.

The soft sweet purring now has ceased,
no gentle rubs to greet me,
just memories of a special friend
and good times are all I see.

Although I miss you dearly,
I’ll try not to feel so blue,
because I know that there’s a heaven
for special cats like you.
 
Lithium,
I know how hard that will be on everyone when the time comes. I've lost both of my cats in the last year or so, at age 16. SO I know what your Mom and of course you have to go through. My condolences.

As far as the tattoo goes, I love the cat sitting on the moon.

I was thinking of the tat going on the wrist inside...so I think it may hurt regardless..lol

I like the 3rd one too Lith.
They don't hurt that bad.
Have you ever had a tattoo?
The worst part is when they fill in the ink on the larger areas, but it's a pain that's almost pleasurable, after a while.
 
Hang in there.
We are still missing our cat PW.
She sure broke our hearts when she went to Kittie Land.

Lithium, my heart goes out to you-I went through a similar experience with my JRT Bailey 2 years ago this month, and I still think about her every single day. Her picture hangs in my studio, and I see it every morning, and her picture has been the "screensaver" on my phone since we had to let her go-I can't bring myself to change it to this day.

I found a lot of comfort in the site Nixon suggested-you can go there, write a memorial, they even have an "on-line" memorial/candle ceromony every monday night. I know it may sound ridiculous to some, but it helped me tremendously in the months afterward.

I'll keep you, and Jasper in my thoughts and prayers, and if you ever need to talk to someone who understands, please feel free to hit me up anytime.

Jaspers appt is at 6pm today ..... please keep me in your thoughts... this is a bad time to do this esp. with the surgery coming up and all.

I am going to price the memorial tattoo something this week..and likely have it done next week after surgery.

be strong, babe. i love you.
 
I am so sorry Lithium-I know how hard this must be for you-I was devastated when I had to do it. Will keep you, and Jasper in my thoughts and prayers today. {{{{{hugs}}}}}
 
OMG... I think that was possibly the hardest thing I ever had to do or watch...We picked up his ashes yesterday...I feel more at peace about the whole thing now that we have his ashes but it is hard to take. I just keep thinking we killed him, we killed him and then we burned his body... Im such a horrible person. Pets are like the greatest things on this earth-better then people. They love you regardless of your short comings and never hurt you..I wish he was still here..I am still planning on getting his memorial tattoo... although some people look at my like im crazy for doing it..I dont care- more often then not they are the ones who don't understand.

Lithium, you did the humane thing....and it had to be done. I completely understand what you are feeling now-I felt the exact same way. Thoughts and prayers en route to you right now.....
 
I know you did what had to be done, I've been there. No it is not pleasant.
I have three buried out back, two of which were mine. We had stones made to mark their spots. Now if I'd get off my ass and get them set out :unsure:

.. and don't worry about the some people who may think you're crazy for getting a Jasper tattoo.
Those people would likely be the ones who were never lucky enough to know how beautiful and enriching it is to have a warm, little fuzzy lovey who loves us more than we love ourselves.

Hugs hun.
 
And who hears my cries...none other then Kaluha... comes over and hops on my lap and puts a paw on each shoulder like she is giving me a hug and licks my tears.... Then I cry even more... ugh
