Al died today
Al, my orange tabby (4 white paws and chest), who I adopted from an Ohio
shelter 14 years ago on August 17, died today. He had lung cancer. I held him as the vet euthanized him. It was peaceful and quick. The vet left me alone with Al for a few minutes afterwards and I cried like a baby. I miss him so much! He was the most gentle little guy I have ever known. The vet's husband, who was Al's first vet, called to tell me how sorry he was. He said that to this day he always thinks of Al whenever he sees an orange cat. This day is especially tough as I live alone (divorced). Putting Al down was harder than my divorce because unlike my ex-wife, I never stopped loving Al. At least Al's suffering is over. Sadly, Rich |

Sadly, Rich I don't know you or Al, but I know your pain. I am so sorry for your loss. Al lives on in your heart. As long as you live, Al lives. |

You gave him a good life, and I know it is hard to lose him. When you have healed a little in time, maybe you could adopt one or two of the many kitties who need homes. They won't be Al but they are all special in their own way, and you sound like you have a lot to give to a kitty who needs a home. |

I am really sorry for your loss. It is really hard losing a kitty. I
haven't heard about kitties getting lung cancer before. Can you enlighten us? mdsu wrote: Al, my orange tabby (4 white paws and chest), who I adopted from an Ohio shelter 14 years ago on August 17, died today. He had lung cancer.
