Thank you all. This is what i posted on the feline diabetes board. I have
immuno regulan coming tomorrow and will donate it to the first person that I
get the email from. I wish you all the best of luck and long lives for
the ones you care for.
Max was put to sleep on my bed in my house with me holding him
tonight
Normally I named my animals based on what I think fits. Max
went nameless for a long time as I got to know him from feeding him
outside. It was a last resort name as I didn't have his
personality down pat since he was a stray at the time. If I had known him
better when I named him, it would have been zoid which would have been short
for skitzoid. If I walked the wrong way, he would growl and slink away
but then realize it was okay so he would roll and stretch. When he saw debbie
he would hiss until she talked to him, Once she spoke he melted. The eyes
would go soft, the face would light up and he would go to her and try to give
her a concussion with his head bumps.
One thing Max did was wear
his emotions on his face and body and you would know exactly how he felt at
all times. When he wanted to go outside, it was urgent and an emergency
and he would tell you and his eyes were narrow and he would sulk. At night,
all cats have to be inside the house and it took a 3 day "grounding' of Max
before he dutifully learned the rules.
If he wanted to go out late
and we wouldn't let him,we counted on the zoid part. I would sit on the sofa
as he was crying at the door and call him. He would come running over, strech,
roll over and proceed to play with me totally forgetting that he wanted to do
something else.
Zoid wouldn't have been a fair name either. Sparkle
maybe because of the sparkles that were in his eyes. Also because of the way
he looked at me with such faith and trust even after having his trust and
heart broken by the bastards that threw him away. He's better than me that
way.
Loverboy because of the way he loved me so damm much. All I had to do
was sit on the couch, lean back and offer my chest and he was up there in 2
seconds kissing my face and neck.
I'm sorry we didn't have more time
together Max. I'm sorry for the times I yelled at you. You were so young and
happy. I'm grateful for what you gave to me and taught me. I thank
you for the love you always gave me. Fly free my boy.
