My dear little buddy,"JULIO" passed away late last nite as I held his tiny paw. He was (14) years young. Julio was my wifes cat but I bonded with him in a very special way and we had many joyful, interesting days together. He was a gourmet kitty too, as he loved to try many kinds of foods with me at dinner time, honey & cream cheese on a bagel was one of his many, many delightful foods to eat, that he indulged in together with my wife. Before I go any further, straying from my original thoughts on how or why I found your web page, let me just say that I hadn't realized how sad I would be, this morning, when he passed away last nite. I was so ashamed that I might not have loved him as much as I know he loved to be with me unconditionaly. Reflecting on our times together this morning, I wondered if I gave him as much love as he had given me year end and year out. How he was so very well behaved and seemed to always know when I was down in the dumps. Did He know how much I really loved him? Did he know that I was so grateful that he did not stray away from us in his last days to go off and die alone. He was so unselfish. This morning, I miss my "JULIO" more than I had ever realized was possible. I want to hear his meow right now and I do hear him thanking me for loving him too, unconditionally.
