I'm so sorry for your loss of Ricky Rick. He sounds like a great cat.

On Fri Feb 9, 2007 Ricky Rick was helped to end his suffering from lymphoma and FeLV... Ricky was a big old black and white tux tom cat when he was brought into the shelter... He tested pos but he was such a friendly old fellow that they had to try and find him a home... He came to live with me about 15 months ago and was very happy and quickly became friends with the other cats... He had been stray for some time and his coat was very shabby but with good food he soon became such a handsome fellow... It wasn't long though before we noticed his lymph nodes were swelling... He took his pred. and the progression was very slow but then this last week he was peeing blood and not swolling his food and it was time to let him go on.... Rick had his own pillow right next to mine that he has slept on at night for as long as I can remember and I miss not having him there... But then my feral cat that I have been taming for 2 1/2 years and must sense that this is a sad time has been much closer in the last few days and she may be the one to take over that spot.... We will miss our friendly old Ricky Rick..... Tad and Marie
