...I lost the last of my two boys last year, my baby was Pete, named after Peter Lorre, cuz when he was born in my house, he had these enormous eyes.He imprinted to me very early, and after I took him from his mom..(Hedda)btw, we were the BEST of friends.He would play fetch with this little ball of tin foil,and would always sleep on my chest.Nine years later,he developed a problem that I had'nt taken into account..he would spend alot of time at the water bowl,and loved people food,he was also a whopping 25 lbs at his highest weight,but after taking him in to the vet for a urinary tract infection..(blood in the urine)..he was found to have advanced diabetes.We gave him insulin twice a day, but he was losing weight fast, and still suffering..the vet and fellow family members of mine..(all cat people btw) said the best thing to do was to put him down...It was genuinely the HARDEST thing I've ever had to do....I cried for a month straight..and even now, I'm getting very choked up.I just hope we meet again in the Afterlife..Skitzi,was my first baby, he was the craziest cat you'd ever know.One time,I had broken my hand,(bad temper) and the doc gave me Demeral for the pain,..well, I stupidly left one on the coffee table one morning,forgetting to take it,went to work,came home,and there was no sign of Skitzi,who would always greet me at the door,I looked all over and found him under the couch looking stoned as a skunk...he was never the same after that....it calmed him down considerably...I then,at the advise of a friend bought a white mouse,so he would learn how to hunt,and when I presented him with his "Quarry",instead of maiming the poor thing,like I thought would happen,he made friends with it,and took it by the nape of it's neck to his bed,like as if it was "his" baby...they were inseperable...he shared his food and water with it as well.I soon reserved myself to this "alliance" and named the mouse "Angelo".He(the mouse) would follow us around the small studio apartment I had then,and if we(Skitzi and I) were on the couch,watching T.V., Angelo would climb up too..True story...you can't make this shit up!!!<br>Poor Skitzi alas,was loosing weight, some 9 years after all this,and again,a trip to the vet revealed the unthinkable....Spleen cancer,...I almost went off the deep end myself, when I finally had to put him down and out of his misery ....sooo sad..But now, I have my wifes cat.."Tigger", she's an ornery calico,but I love her to pieces as my own...my wife raised her from an infant,when the kittens mom was killed by a car...Sorry if this seems long winded, but my guys were/are a big part of me..as I said I hope to God we meet up in the same place someday........"see ya"...Z
