To all you "old-timers", I just wanted you to know that my beloved Bijou has gone to the rainbow bridge.  He was having difficulty breathing and the x-ray showed a number of tumours in his lungs.  I held his beautiful head in my hands and kissed him as he passed over.  I've never had a more wonderful cat in my life.  The vet was sad as well since she thought he was so wonderfully gentle and kind.  I'll miss him forever.

I remember you and Bijou.  I am so sorry.  Didn't he have a sister that was your daughters cat?  There is something special about Siamese cats and he was special for a Siamese.

Yes, my daughter has his sister Mika.  Thank you Denice.  He was indeed a special kitty.

So very, very sorry to learn of Bijou's passing. 
 Did the vet say what could have caused the tumors in his lungs? 

 Will light a candle for sweet Bijou

It's such sad news that your gorgeous, sweet-tempered Bijou's life was cut short by disease. He was very special and so beautiful that I often thought he'd win a "Most Beautiful TCS Cat" contest hands down. I remember so well the time he was "on the lam" and had you worried sick, and how he used to snuggle under the covers:

Lots of for you, Linda, in this sad time. RIP, sweet Bijou, you'll be mourned.

Thank you all. That picture brought back some sweet memories, thank you for posting it. The lady vet fell in love with him too and thought he was so gentle and sweet.

Everyone who met Bijou fell in love with him even those who didn't care for cats.  He was a true ambassador for the feline world.

Oh I'm so so sorry to hear this.  I remember lots of stories about Bijou and he was just stunning.  I remember your daughter's cat too and a story about bringing the cat to work with her. I just don't remember if it was Bijou or Mika without trying to search for it.  I'm just so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry. He sounds like a really unique cat. You know we love them all, but sometimes a cat is just in a class by himself. I hope your memories will bring you peace and comfort.
