I lost my best Friend on August 15th. 2001. He had been with me for 13 years. He was a unique individual. I think his mother was an Owl. For a cat he had the largest eyes. They looked like round marbles. He weighted 20 pounds & in a month he lost down to 16lbs. Then in 2 weeks he weighted 14lbs. He died of Liver cancer. He suffered so much the last few days. He was at our Vets clinic. And I received the call saying there was no hope for him. He was an inside kitty. Always there waiting to be loved on. I miss him so much. I have other Kitties but the void is great. My daughter lost her 20 year old cat the week before. And I have another Kitty with cancer of the bowels. He is 15 years old. God Bless the Beast & the Children & the USA
