Saying 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. |

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. |

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.

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.

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. |
