Oscar has passed away

I know that many of you read about Oscar years ago, so I thought you'd

she was our pain in the butt, and when she decided you were worthy of
her affection, you really knew you'd earned it. We added a dog,
Cooper, to our family two years ago, and while I never saw her raise a
claw against this dog 5 times her weight, he deferred to her in every
way. She was queen of the kingdom. We miss her terribly.

Sending you many purrs, Monique, I certainly remember you and Oscar. I
am so sorry for her passing and your loss.

and 10 months past her cancer diagnosis.


What a testament to the love a cat has for two-legged family! I'm
sorry for your loss of dear Oscar. She was a brave soldier for you!

Blessed be,

I appreciate the way you always light candles for RB kitties. That is a
very nice thing to do.

Hi Monique, it's nice to hear from you, although I'm so sorry for the
reason. I remember when she got that dire prognosis 4 years ago - I guess
she fooled everyone! Purrs for all of you who miss her.

So very sorry to hear this sad news.

I'm very sad to hear that Oscar is now gone. But I'm happy for her
that she had so many good years after her diagnosis. I pinged you a
couple of years ago to try to get a follow-up, and by that time, I
thought that Oscar had already passed away. She was a very good kitty,
and we'll miss her.

Sorry, Takayuki. I stopped visiting this newsgroup a few years ago, so
I never saw your pings. In general, I won't be here often (if at all),
but I thought I should let the people here know that she'd passed.
