Sorry for your loss Bolt. It sounds like BJ had a long life and at least the time spent with you was great! He looks very happy in that pic.

I just saw this. I don't know how I missed it, but I did and I am so sorry. When I saw it, I somehow thought of this little ditty I found on the Internet some time ago.

"Humility

And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me
everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is
difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that
will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for
you, so that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me.
Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this
new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in
spite of yourself."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a
good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be
with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "But Lord, I have
already named all the animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are
taken and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to
be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my
own name, and you will call him DOG."

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And
Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and
wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel went to the
Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and
preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog
has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him
humility."

And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who
will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion
will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not
worthy of adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey
Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was
not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved.
And Cat did not care one way or the other"

Age is a very high price to pay for my maturity. If I can't stay young, I can at least stay immature!

I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am. I hate FIP too. He was such a beautiful baby, and his life was much too short.

reply to Pretorious
Once more, I check into this thread and am sitting with shivers all over my body. When a loved pet dies, mine or other's, that happens. I am so sorry to hear both of the loss of Hercule Purr-oh Katt and of Thunder. While I know that the good memories will go on and on, the feeling of sadness, and sometimes loss of control, springs up at the most unexpected times. Allow for them. Cry about them. It's all OK.

So sorry to hear about Vader. Those little fur creatures bring so much love and so much heartbreak into our lives.

EGeezer 's daughter here:

Having adopted a kitty there that summer, I stopped by the county animal shelter to drop off a bag of cat food. It was about an hour before they closed for the weekend. When I got there, my friend C., who volunteers, told me that there was a respiratory infection going around, and they were putting down many of the cats. Then she said, "If you're going to rescue someone, rescue Darth Vader." He was the next one on death row. At the time my husband (fiancé at the time) and I already had three cats, but I met this poor sick kitty, and told him, "Come on, Vader, we're going home." I borrowed a carrier and took him home with me. We went to the vet, and a course of antibiotics fixed him right up.

The shelter's paperwork two years ago listed his age as two. I thought at the time - my husband and the people at the vet's office agree - that he was at least ten years older than his paperwork said. I think his previous owner lied about his age to give him a better chance at being adopted. Heck, I would have taken him if he was 20, but not everyone thinks like that.

Anyway, I've known LOTS of cats, but Vader was the sweetest, most loving kitty ever. He never stopped purring. My husband and I are thrilled to have had two wonderful years with him.

reply to EGeezer
So sorry to hear of their loss and how fabulous that they gave him back 8 of his 9 lives when saving him. Pets own us and when they go, it's so hard.

And 2 years can be like a lifetime, for both animal and their owned ones. I grieve with your family.
