My dad took me to a shelter in November of 4th grade. Before we left the house I had no idea where we were going and then he showed me a box of kitten chow and I couldn't get to the car fast enough. As soon as I saw him, I knew he was the one...sitting so nicely and patiently among what seemed like 100 crazy, loud cats. I found out years later that my dad took me to get him to ease the pain of my parents divorce that was happening at the time. From then on, I referred to Muffin as "my divorce cat" and I truly believe that if I didn't have him at the time, as a 9 year old girl whose mother left, I may not have adjusted so well. Muffin came with me when I got married and moved again when we built our current home. He was sick for only a week when the vet told me he was in organ failure and I needed to make the decision. To this day, it was the worst thing I have ever been through so I know how you feel. Gus would never have had a chance if it wasn't for you. He had a wonderful life.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593315412500984177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804524849206793320.post-37872728068273580952010-10-16T19:30:17.406-07:002010-10-16T19:30:17.406-07:00I had to read this in a couple goes. It's seld...I had to read this in a couple goes. It's seldom a day goes by that I don't think of my big orange Sebastian cat, and it's been more than 10 years now. It will be a tough time for you, no doubt about it, but you'll know when. Think of it as the last favour for a beloved friend to release him from flesh made a prison.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.com
