Chomps the Cat (1992-2009) |

http://www.allegro.cc/files/attachment/597821 Well, Chomps took his last breath this morning. He has been my little pal since I was 12 years old and we've lived in many different places together. We always had a great understanding between each other and I always felt the best way to get him to understand what I was thinking was to talk to him "man-to-man" like I would to anybody else. It's been the most emotional thing I've had to go through, but I'm happy because he was a terrific friend and lived a great, healthy, and loved 17 years. I was there when he passed away at home and was petting him and giving him calm words. Here's my favorite Chomps story: Quote: Chomps wanted to cuddle but I put him in the tall blue hamper next to my bed because I didn't want to crush him in my sleep - he was soooooo tiny. So I put him in the hamper and he meowed and meowed, and he would purr when I talked to him. I tried to go to sleep but he crawled all the way out and insisted on cuddling... So I put him back in the hamper, this time I put the lid on. That didn't stop chomps. He crawled all the way up and wedged open the lid and squeezed out... and came straight for my face purring, rubbing and ploped down right nex to me. So I put him in the hamper again, with the lid, and something heavy on top, but he just meowed even louder. So I let him out and sure enough I didn't crush him in my sleep. That was our first night together. :')

I'm not at a loss of words, just nothing feels right to say. I hope the memories remain and the pain goes away. Bah, the fact that it rhymes makes it seem less credible. ------------ |

Sorry to hear about this. My old cat died a couple of years ago, at the age of 21. I cried the rest of that day. |

Thanks for all your support guys. It's sad, absolutely, but as far as cats and humans go, the two of us couldn't have asked for better times together. Now that I've gone through the day and thought back on all the memories, I can't help but feel incredibly lucky (on all points) and I'm finding it hard to feel bad. It's more like "dude, that was badass" -- |

A 17 years life is a good score for a cat. May he stay in peace. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |
