and writing that still brings tears....but I want to celebrate his life with me - and share that with you.

Jeddie and his sister Ellie, maybe 8 weeks here? I didn't know him as a kitten, but his former dad sent this to me a few months ago, for which I am extremely grateful:


This is how I knew him first. Sad, sick, and grieving the loss of his former life:


Eventually, though, he was radiant and happy (one of my all time favorite photos of him):


His favorite sleeping position was belly and paws up, back toes curled up (curly toes!):


He loved the balcony. Going out on it was one of the last things he did. This is from two years ago:


And he loved Beau, and Beau loved him:


Beau tried to keep him clean those last few weeks:


This is the photo that "says it all" to me. As if he is looking off into the next realm, seeing something we can never know on this earth. It's the photo I have of him in a special place where I can see it often:
 
Sheila - I still get choked up when I see the pictures of him. He was a VERY lucky boy to have you!

(((Hugs)))) to you today and always. He's not able to be held and petted like before, but he's in your heart forever.

<3
 
He was a very lucky boy to have landed in my lap..., but, as I told my mother when she said the same thing, I was very lucky to have had him in my life for even those few brief years. I never expected to love him like I did / do. I only expected to give him a healthy home where his diabetes would be treated.

He brought so much joy and happiness to all of us while he was here.
 
It's taken me a long time to look at this post. Jeddie was so very special to all of us, it still hurts to remember his last few months and your fight to beat back his cancer.
He was such a handsome boy and his eyes were the prettiest green. I love his kitten picture - he was always a snuggler. :-D The curly toes picture reminded me of Klinger, we used to call them that too.
Sigh. A year...Jeddie, you are still remembered and thought of fondly.
((hugs))

Marcy, I know what you mean. Klinger's loss is so fresh in your heart right now and I certainly didn't want to open any of those wounds.

I just can't forget this boy and wanted to let you all know I haven't. I was just talking about him today with the vet tech at the specialists where I took Beau (more on that in a new post).

Thank you all for letting Jeddie into your hearts a bit too. He was such a wonderful cat.
