Description Forgive me but going through the pic's I wanted to post I found this. It's a very emotional post for me, so please bear with me here.

My beloved cat’s Felix and Sabrina.

Those of you who have seen this [link] know who Felix is, Found in a dumpster half alive in 91’ and has been with me ever since. He brought Sabrina home around 95’. Crazy as a lark and with what appeared to be surgical wires in her and sign’s of abuse, he was the only one she let near her for year’s until she finally trusted me. She still pulls her fur out occasionally but is otherwise well adjusted. Felix, though fixed adores her and if there is such a thing as animal love these two had it.

Felix is gone now. He left us in February after a long and difficult struggle. Watching him suffer after he’s been there for me all my life was the hardest thing that will ever happen to me. I don’t mean to be morbid but it hurts to keep this inside.

This is my absolute favorite pic of all time. I cried for hours after finding it. The light that frames them is so angelic.

While Looking through my pictures of Felix I was listening to a compilation CD when Amazing grace by Leanne Rimes began to play I stopped and listen realizing how mush the song fit my angel.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found.
Was blind, but now I see.

’twas grace that taught my heart to feel
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

When we’ve been dead ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing god’s praise
Then when we first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found.
Was blind, but now I see.

Felix R Neal Nov. 91'-Feb 5 2005

Thank you so much!

It truly is amazing. Who would have thought such inconspicuous little puffs could mean so much and hurt so bad to lose. Keep me updated on Thumper, how is she/he?

"cats are people too!"

Thumper is a he (see him here [link] )
he's doing okay now. we have to give him medication twice a day, which has earned him the name muhammad... as in Ali. lil stinker fights to holy hell every time. we're dirt poor right now, and meds cost money, so we're just arely scraping by, but we have no choice. his meds come before mine if it comes to that. they do let us purchase a week at a time, to help with the cost though, so thats good.

how adorable. I lost my kitty too one time and I was desperate.
I know which one Felix is without clicking any link, because I know that only female cats have 3 colours, so Felix is the black one.

I'm still new to Photoshop so I'm still trying to figure out the framing thing. Yeah it does look like they're coming out of a TV. I was trying to accent the light around Felix. It looks like a halo I thought, a nice tribute to my baby.

I feel bad about your cat. I just lost my cat recently. She was struck by a car and killed. I wasn't there when it happened. When we first found her, she was a stray kitten with three others. Two went to the animal shelter, one was adopted by family and we kept her. I made this to remember her by http:www.imeteorsummoner.0catch.com/pics/chocomem.jpg *hopes I get the address right >_<*

Odd, when I saw the preview for this pic, your cats remind me of mine... O_o

Lovely cats U are so kind of rescuing those cats and I felt so sorry about poor Felix. I was once had a cat too, Genny(yes, it's a he ) the name is short for General Nuisance, my mom called him. Poor kitty passed away from a disease ;_;
No matter what, we still remember out cats

Aww they're so cute O_o Sorry for the late comment, I could have sworn I comment on this earlier. *shrugs* Oh well...
Sorry that Felix passed away ;o; It's not fun to loose a cat. I lost two of mine in 2000 I believe, my favorite cat: Chips... died on the bed I was sleeping in. And that kind of makes it much worse. Our other cat Silver, had to be put down. They both kind of stopped eating and drinking, but they lived to be 19 so I'd say they had a full life ^^ But we've moved on and now have a new cat: Mitsy. She's a ragdoll and the cutest ever. Although she's very... destructive XD Anyways, beautiful picture!

nefertari22 In reply to Yuki-Ryu [2005-06-11 21:24:37 +0000 UTC]

19 you say that is old for a cat. The oldest cat ever lived to be 22 just a little kitty knowledge for you. Felix lived to be thirteen but he'd had a hard life with more than a few bumps a long the way. I can't imagine what it must be to have your best friend pass way in your bed I think I would have died myself. My mother say's she can't go through the pain of losing another cat but we still keep getting them. I say you can't have the good times and memory’s if you aren’t willing to take the pain as well. As bad as it hurt's I'd do it all over again.

Thank you for the comment it means a lot to me!

Awe! So cute! I'm terribly sorry about losing your kitty. :crise: I know it's alwys hard to loose a special pet. But just remember all of the love Felix gave you and how he brought home a wonderful new kitty, Sabrina. She's so cute. I'm glad you could save both of them. That's also a really great picture of them together. I think you should keep it forever. And here's a to make you feel better bout your poor kitty. +Faving

Thank you so much for your comments I cried again when reading it but it was a happy cry. I do remember so many good times with Felix he was always with me when my dad was at war and I was lonely. Yeah it's great that I still have Sabrina to remind me of him.

I have this pic framed on my bedroom wall. Thanks much for the fav it mean alot!

You're welcome! I love cats. I used to want a cat so badly when I found out we were getting a dog. So my dad promised me he'd buy me a cat when I moved out of the house. In a way I'm glad we got the dog instead because she's always been there for me and she's hilarious, but I'm sure when I get a cat it will be just as much fun too. In fact. I want atleast one dog to go along with my cat! Anyway I'm glad you have that picture of him, to remind you.

Aw, Those are really cute cats... I love cats. But I'm also a dog lover.Eh, Where am I going with this? Oh yeah... Animal abuse is the worse! I can't believe people do that. My oldest dog Tayo.... All he does is bark.. ( He's so old... he can't see things correctly ) Someone tried to poison him! and He almost died from it. Now he doesn't bark as much as he used to... only when he see's things move now. My dog Tayo has been there since I can remember... I couldn't believe someone would try to KILL my dog!! We got another dog after a while... Named him Rusty... Rusty takes care of Tayo... and is a smart ( YET STUPID BECAUSE HE RUNS INTO WALLS ) dog.... Rusty only barks when there is someone NEAR the house... and Tayo barks when someone is near, and pretty far away.... Once Rusty started to Bark along with Tayo.. and we found a guy parked on our property... with poison in his car... we called the cops.... and we found out that he's been poisioning alot of the animals around the neighborhood. ( The weird thing is... Tayo was barking even more crazier that he usually did... jumping up and down and going mad... and Rusty was just... barking... and Rusty has a scary bark...o.O ) ... I said alot... I'll shut-up now and pet my dogs...

No I love hearing animal stories. So you actually caught the guy that’s great!! My mom used to rise Siberian Huskies for a living her first one’s were named Sam and Kimo Kim. Sam was a great dog, there was a guy that tried to rob them one night and he ended up with the seat of his pants torn up as he tried to get back over the fence. The guy came back and tried to put glass in Sam’s food but mom found it before Sam got to it. They eventually caught the guy when he tried to rob another place.

Yeah when we found or actually Felix found Sabrina she had wire’s and crap hanging out of her stomach the vet said she had probably escaped from an animal testing facility. But she’s happy now so that’s all that matters.

Thanks for the long reply tis’ much appreciated.
