In Loving Memory of Thomas(You'll always be my sunshine Boy)!!
MY beloved cat Thomas passed away on Friday May 1st 2009.Tommy was the best cat anyone could ever ask for.He would greet me at the door or look out the window for me to come home.He always knew how to put a smile on my face and comfort me when times were sad and tough.He would follow me into the kitchen when it was feeding time,and he knew how to look at me with those eyes and tell me he'd wanted a treat from the fridge at night!I showed him a little trick about hopping onto the small counter top,and he'd sit their until i petted him or given him a treat.He loved to lay on the end of the sofa with his favorite blanket or hop in the chair with me to catch one of his long lap naps with me.He never liked the trips to the vets or to get a bath in the kitchen sink.Thomas was diagnosed with cancer of the jaw and mouth in Sept 2008,he had surgery on Oct 30th 2008 to remove a mass tumor,and had several teeth pulled.It was a long and difficult last few months of his life,he longed for companionship more than ever.Tommy clinged to all the attention he could get from me and my mom.He was very brave and strong,he didn't care for taking his daily medicines nor having me give him water by syringes,he tried his hardest to eat daily,and also dropped alot of weight,but I held him and kissed him as much as i could and i hated leaving the house for any amount of time.I wanted to be by his side at every moment.I used to sing him his favorite song every night before I would go to sleep,(YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE MY ONLY SUNSHINE,YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WHEN SKIES ARE GREY,PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY)!His ears would perk up and he'd turn his head to look at me and i would kiss him good night.It was the hardest decision I ever had to make by putting thomas down,He was refusing water and little bits when he eat,His tumor had come back and spread across his face,shutting his left eye out and only one open and his eyesight was fading fast.Thomas was the only pet i've ever owned and I stayed with him until the end and the vets office,I held him one last time and told him i loved him very much and i will miss him forever.Since then it's been so hard around the house without him our other cat pandy is just now noticing that tommy is gone,she misses him dearly,I put a photo albulm of all tommy's pictures in it,and home movies of him together also,I miss him painfully every day,I love my thomas!
