Felix Sheppard 8/15/94

My dear sweet Felix was put to sleep on Monday ending his courageous battle with Cancer. Doctors could not believe he had such a fast form of cancer that put tumors all over his body. He made it back home to his Vets and Dr. Casey Kime who has taken care of him since he was a baby put him to sleep. It was very hard for Dr. Kime and I . Felix lived a long life and would have been 16 in August. We got him shortly after we got married making him our first cat together.
I fell apart in the office and later at home. Of all my pets that I have had in my life Felix was the most special. Mornings are not the same without him touching my nose with his paw to gently wake me up or snuggle with me as I read a book. He taught us to speak quietly, he was always the one that wanted to be petted and loved.
He is being cremated and his ashes will continue to travel with us and they are making a pawprint for me so I can put that up on the Christmas tree or the wall.
He is missed very much by the four of us. Biff and Sashamio knew when the cat carrier came back home without Felix and two days later that he was not coming back home, I can tell they are sad and Monday night they would not eat their dinners because they were in Mourning.
Sashamio will miss him the most though because Felix used to play chase with him and play with him. Biff is beginning to play with him more but really would rather growl.
As much as a younger play mate would be nice for Sashamio , I am not going to get another because we often have the problem of a "2 pet only" parks and have been lying and not letting the cats out so we don't get in trouble.
Felix will be very missed in our lives and hope to see him at the Rainbow bridge waiting with his Brother Bear & Sister Suzi
Rest in Peace Felix we love and miss you!
