A Tribute to Jack the Wondercat: March 1995 (?)-October 4, 2008
This is one of the hardest days. A cruel trick, at most. The early October sky is a beautiful blue, a balmy 62 degrees and our Jack leaves us early this morning at around 6:00 a.m.. His generous, loving, heart just gave out. He died in Steve's arms on the way to the kitty ER. There was nothing anyone could do; it was just his proverbial time. It just happened so fast. Like a flash.
It's rather quiet here tonight without Jack's warbling with a cat toy, jonesing to get out to porch time, or mooching to grab a bite of human food from his hapless parents; cheese was his favorite.
He was such a good cat and he taught us a lot of lessons about life.
If you have any wonderful Jack memories, please feel free to share them... thank you.

In the years after my lungs -- we lost two of our kitty-cats... For three years, I was home 24/7 -- I became very attached to all of them -- it's never easy to lose a friend, whether human or pet... Even though it may have been harder for Steve -- I think that there is some comfort that Jack died in his arms, and not by himself in a dark corner somewhere... Both of our kitty-cats died in our arms...
I hope the two of you are doing OK... Your Mom is in my thoughts and prayers... I have little doubt that Jack had a good and rich life with you...
Love,
Steve (& Goobs...)
He is now in kitty heaven and my baby Ashes is showing him around.
love you, here's a hug, XOXOXOXO
