Oh, I'm really sad to hear about poor Spark. :-( I'm so sorry.

I never met Spark, but I'm glad you were able to be with him in the end. No doubt he knew how much he was loved.

Thank you.
I am grateful that I was here as well... I was gone for a week and a half last month and I am glad it didn't happen then, saying good bye is so important.

poor sparkle-puss :( I'm so sorry that he's gone! He was the fluffiest, most beautiful cross-eyed kitty ever! I'm glad he didn't suffer much until the end. You gave him the best, most loving home a kitty could want, no matter where you were. I remember him barfing yes, it was his special talent :) and also sitting contentedly on top of his perch, bestowing us with the occasional "reeeooow" and batting at bumper if he tried to fuck with him ;-) i was always impressed that spark could hold his own with the little whippersnapper. He was a trooper and led an extremely long, love-filled life.

I wish i was well enough to come see you tonight! Maybe if i'm feeling better by this evening i can come over to sf for dinner or something if you want.

thank you sweets, those are wonderful memories :) I remember you loved playing with them.
They were still playing together, Bumper was having him chase him up and down the stairs here.
Oh, and just before I left for the vet on sat night, Bumper came to him and gave him a few licks... and I am glad this happened.

yea I was sad you couldn't make it tonight but I accepted another invite (cause I have awesome friends) and it's better for you to focus on killing the sick, but I totally appreciate the thought, and let's hang out soon! :)

Aw, Cat, I am so sorry. :( You did right by him, that's for sure. I never got to meet him but he sure was a beautiful boy!

(And if Bumper and you continue to be lonely, I have it on good authority that simplykimberly is bottle-feeding some babies, and I can tell you from personal experience that no one pre-sweetens kittens like Miss Kimberly's Academy for Kitten Sweetening. Just in case that information is useful at some point.)

aw thank you so much.

yea, I have seen simplykimberly's kittens on kittypix, I also know you got your youngins from her...
I've browsed her pictures many times. I remember sending help when she was trying to save Roo. She is obviously an awesome cat mommy.

I think I want Bumper to have another buddy at some point, and I think maybe I'll foster kittens, so he can pick his new friend :)

I am not rushing anything tho, taking my time to mourn Spark for now, and we'll see when I'm ready to welcome more meows in my home.

Lots of love to you and Bumper both. I'm glad you're getting Spark's bones. I hope to do the same for Ophelia.

Thank you much, lady.

It is so hard, I miss him so much, esp. on days I work from home all day. Time will heal and it will get better
Thankfully I have Bumper and also the best friends in the world, who keep me from being too sad for too long!!

yea I am so glad I know about the Bone Room. I know Ophelia is ill, but sounds like she's still a happy kitty with you and your other kitties, hopefully for as long as possible!

Helena was pointing out that younger cats help keep an older cat active and healthy, I could definitely see it here, Bumper was often making Spark play with him, until what, last Thu or Fri... I hope Ophelia enjoys the youngins too! ;)

thank you!
