The
outpouring of love and concern from friends I've met
and
those I've never met, astounds me.
---
I only saw George
once but I remember that for a few minutes all 8 or 9 lbs of domestic
cat sat and stared at me as though he were sizing me up in case I made
a false move.
He exuded character.
I'm a firm believer that the human-animal bond is something remarkable
and unique. There is a connection we share with the animals in our lives
that cannot be duplicated.
---
I am so sorry.
I went to the site to look at the pictures of George. He looks beautiful.
"Death ends a life, not a relationship."
I send you all of the hugs your web server can hold.
---
You and George
had a beautiful relationship together.
I'm sure he is happy and purring at you from where he is now
- with no more suffering.
---
I am sorry to
read that George is gone. I am so
happy I had a chance to meet him. He had a great life. You love him and
always will. now he is gone, but only in a different place. his work here
is done. how happy did you make each other? so happy, more than you could
even express in words. I am so
sorry for you, Keith. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going
through right now. George would want you to smile whenever you thought
of him. so smile whenever you see his
sweet face in your mind, and keep him in your heart always.
---
I know how you
feel. I still remember when I put my
beloved dog Crystal to sleep 5 years ago. I wasn't able to
hold her but I did pet her and made sure I looked into her
eyes as they gave her the shot. I wish I could have said
goodbye to George during my last NYC visit but I had no
wheels and not enough time to trek down to Bay Ridge by the
R. I'm not much of a cat person but George definitely was a
special cat and I actually liked him a lot. I know you'll
miss him dearly and always will but you need to take
comfort in the fact that he's not suffering anymore and
that you have a lot of good memories with him. I think the
saying "it's better to love and lost than never to have
loved." holds true in this case.
---
George will always
be well loved in this world and wherever kitty heaven may be.
---
I understand.
I lost one cat after 13 years, the next after 12, and the 3rd after another
14 years. When I moved to CA, I just couldn't go through it again.
You'll think you
see him, just disappearing around a corner, for weeks to come. Smile and
remember the joy he
brought you.
---
I'm so sorry for
your loss. I've been through that too many times this past year. He was
loved and will be
missed by many.
---
I've probably
said this before, but: there should be more
pet owners like you.
---
I'm so sorry to
hear about George...he touched a lot of
lives, including mine.
I thought it might
bring a smile to share with you a few of my
memories of him from the short time I really got to spend with him:
-climbing the walls,
doorjambs, doors at 3 a.m. on a routine basis
-sleeping ON my head, or pretending to be a living scarf
-pouncing on my feet if i wiggled my toes
George, more than
any other cat, converted me into a cat-lover.
He is missed.
---
I am so sorry
to hear you had to put him to sleep. You did such
a kind thing by staying with him to the end.
I lost my own cat of eleven years the summer before last. She
died in my car while I was racing to the emergency vet.
Congestive heart failure. I had always hoped I would have more time with
her. Since then, I've come to believe folks either understand the depth
of such a loss or they don't. Explanations are futile.
---
We lost a kitten
fairly recently -
after only ten days with us, Scout died from a viral infection. With us,
it started with an emergency vet visit, and ended the next afternoon on
the floor of the vet with us holding her. Reading your description of
George's final moments brought me back to that moment, holding Scout on
the linoleum floor. We both wanted to say that we're sorry to hear that
George is gone, and to remember the good times you shared with him.
---
I have no idea
what to say. But I also know you don't need me to say anything. I know.
He is ok now.
---
I just want you
to know that I share in your sorrow over the loss
of George. He was "one hell of a cat". I will miss him too.
I'm glad you were in each others lives. And he in mine.
---
It is so beautiful,
the shot you took of George, you captured a precious moment.
---
As a fellow cat
lover, I can understand how George's passing
will leave a hole in your heart. Reading that made my hug my
cat and tell her how dear she is to me.
