Deuce was like a comet, streaking through your life. A glorious thing to experience, but gone much too soon. Like the comet, he and all the others in your life will come around again one day, and you will be together.

I woke up this morning watching my boys watching the birds and I started crying as I thought about Deuce and you. I feel so bad. Perhaps this was a reminder for the rest of us to love our babies unconditionally and to help those that we come across in our life that need help. We had Jr for only 3 yrs when he had to be put down because of a mass in his abdomen. He was 5. Who knows what happened before we got him or what would have happened if we didnt have him when he became ill. Who knows what underlying problems some of our furry friends have.
Sometimes I think the life they had before we get them plays a part in how long they survive. Sometimes for a longtime and sometimes just long enough to get a good amount of love before they go.
Thank you for giving him such a wonderful home. Oh the stories he must be telling his new family now.
Take care of yourself. Hugs from Nova Scotia
I'm so sorry to read about Deuce this morning. I opened this thread just knowing that the power of prayer had pulled the little guy through. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes, so this is going to be short, but know that my heart is breaking for you and your DH. Deuce was a smart boy when he flagged ya'll down and had a great life even though it was much to short. I wish you peace in knowing that you will see him again standing next to Fella and all our other special fur-kids at the bridge.

Cat I was so sorry to read about Deuce but he was in your life for a reason and rewarded you with his love. WHat a wonderful gift he gave you.......
Prayers for your heart to heal......I know he will be missed

My sweet, funny, lovable boy is at the Rainbow Bridge.
I know the horrible feeling of this loss, may he rest in peace Cat
Your kindness, sympathy, compassion and friendship during this very difficult time means so much. Many of you have written in your words such beauty, I am humbled by it.
I miss our Deuce so much......
In my heart I still have him here
Playing with his balled up paper toys
Shifting from calm into kitten gear
Making his "BRRRREEEMMMPP!" noise
Laying close & purring in my ear
Making a mess in the bathroom sink
Sneaking up on Tootsie from the rear
Running across the house in a blink
Going from ornery to sweet and sincere
Camping with us - walking on his leash
As I think of these things he is still near.
He was only here for a little over two months but he was such a strong presence, a fun loving kitten, a force to be reckoned with yet so gentle and sweet, too...... I'm certain we'll miss him much longer than we had him.
I seldom share so much of the everyday life of one of our pets with a forum, not even the pet specific ones I participate on... for some reason I shared Deuce with you and I do think that many of you began to feel fondly about him. Perhaps he somehow knew that, I like to think so. Thank you for that.

Our 'Cash' (boy) makes this noise Cat, the individual voices of our fur-kids set them apart yet bring the love together
I think we were all enjoying the posts about Deuce as he was special. I hope he felt the love and happiness we felt for him as we read the posts. Beautiful tribute Cat.
God Bless
Decades ago, I wrote a poem and all I remember of it is:
In my heart, pets I've had scamper and play with the child I was...
and it strikes me that that is the essence of what you're saying, Cat.
Deuce let you be a playful child again, a cohort, a partner in crime as it were.. I can't believe it was for only two months. Somehow, that was enough.
We all understand.
