 :thanks: to everyone for your support.

Jerry was perfect for us and our family  :Luv: and allowed Suki the space that she needed.  He gave us more than we could ever have hoped for.

I hope that we made him as happy as he made us  :)

I'm so sorry, I just read your post. I knew I shouldn't have really as my little Thimble is missing and it just makes me so so desperately sad to think of her as I don't know what's happened.
It is so so sad, poor little Jericho, he looked like such gorgeous cat too. There's no rhyme nor reason to any of these things. It all seems so unfair doesn't it? It sounds as if he had a wonderful time with you though and that must comfort you.

So here I am sat weeping again, seems like I do that a lot lately. All I can say is I feel you pain.

I wish he were still here  :(

I know the feeling - it comes in waves  :hug: - they will gradually turn to ripples and you will be able to smile when you think of him in time.

The photos are fantastic and the close ups of Jerry are stunning.  Some great photos to look back on in the years to come.  So nice that you have one of you all together just before it happened.  :hug:

Here are some photos that I wish I had posted earlier:

Jerry with Jim & Tommy


Close up of Jerry - please ignore Jim's gardening trousers


Jerry on my lap, Tabs on the arm of chair and Sweepy acting as head rest.
Please ignore horrible photo of me, I only posted this one because this is exactly how we were on Saturday night (our last evening together) as we watched the Harry Potter movie.


Jerry on his first walk in the nature reserve back garden.  He had just been sniffing the lavender.


Jerry relaxing on the furniture






Jim with Tabs, Sweepy and Jerry


Some Jerry portraits




Jerry on the front doorstep


Jerry's beautiful little face - one of the last photos I have of him

How awful for you both after all your other recent losses too.  Like Teresa says, it's best to concentrate on the fact that he went very quickly in the certain knowledge he was very much loved  :hug: :hug:

Thank you to everyone for being so kind, your support means a lot to me.

I'm sorry I didn't get the photos posted tonight.  I have had Sweepy on my lap until about 10 minutes ago, and as it took him so long to become a lap cat I can never ask him to move  :Luv:

I will try really hard to get them done for tomorrow.

Sylvia I`ve only just seen this post and I know exactly how you are feeling because we went through the same with young Robyn earlier this year. Nothing prepared us for the pain and the shock but my good friend Christine helped no end when she pointed out that death was instantaneous, no warning, no pain, Jericho will have gone likewise and in the wonderful home that was his when he needed it most.  :hug: :hug:

Thank you for your responses.

It seems so unfair after all that Jerry had to go through in the few years that he had, that he couldn't have been given a chance for a long and happy life.  He should have been with us for years and years.

I was supposed to be posting photos to show how well he was getting on, and how beautiful and special he was.  It doesn't seem to be the right thing to do now.  I left it too late.

I miss Jerry chivvying me along to get his breakfast ready quicker.  If I walk in the kitchen he's not there with me, in his favourite room, where the potential for food was limitless.

I miss him so much  :'(

I've got tears in my eyes. My rescue cats are 3 years old and I've only had them 5 weeks, so I can imagine how devastated you must be....you'd only just got to know him.

He would have gone to the bridge a very very happy and content furbaby. In time, you will take comfort from that.

All I can do is send you lots of these  :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
