He has pranic healings and the best palliative care, but I hate seeing him not as active. Our babys will wait for us all in Heaven, where we'll be reunited!! God bless our furry feline friends!!

Reminded me of the multiple cats I had around the house as I grew up. Each one of them had their own personalities which I am fondly reminded of as I read your post about Jed. Thanks!

He's 12, black and has diabetes. I fret for my baby as I love him more than anything, and empathise with your pain at your loss. I hope you find another buddy, while he'll never replace Jed, will fill the void in your heart. God bless you and all our beloved cat friends. I too have a best friend called Jed.

I too, have a friend who is almost identical to your Jed. Her name is Eekie who came to me 15 years ago as a kitten when a neighbor moved and left her behind. She couldn't meow, only 'eek' which is how she layed claim to her name. For a time she had the freedom to come in or stay out but as she aged,she was not as fast as she used to be and seemed to take pleasure in dashing in front of cars scaring drivers and neighbors who witnessed her daring feats so I've retired her to indoors for whatever remains of her life. She still appears healthy, (luckily for both of us) enjoys her daily routine, part of which includes watching a few neighborhood pets come and go, strolling through the yard, ocasionally spotting her on the window ledge of the large living room picture window. I've never been without a cat in my life and hope you've seen fit to acquire another for a companion since so many need homes at shelters across our country. Too many animals outnumber the caring homes they deserve as God's creatures. Good luck to you in finding another to equal your beloved Jed Todd- Looking for something online and found your blog which brought tears to my eyes.

When they leave it's painful, just as it should be. One of my cat spends hours sitting next to me as I while away the hours tinkering. I'll be gutted when she leaves. My advice is to go adopt another kitten, fill the whole. Not everyone understands that the animals commonly regarded as pets by some, are regarded as close friends by others.

Tod, I'm so sorry. Maybe Jed was part Cornish Rex with those big ears and eyes. Also, Cornish Rexes are very loving and behave a lot like dogs. I learned of this breed because http://cornishrexfriends.org was one of the first few web sites on the Yahoo! Publisher Network. :) Happy birthday! xoxo, Eileen Oh no. Tod, I’m so sorry.
