Purrs for Ivan's crossing
I got the news that one of my dearest friends had to let her sweet
Ivan go to the Bridge after a long, stubborn battle with kidney disease. I regret I never met Ivan. I saw my friend Deanna socially sometimes and mainly had to keep touch via text and computer, as our schedules clashed horridly. I do know he was a splendid, velvet-black panther of a cat, big and proud in the pictures I saw; and to Dee he was loyal to the very end until the poor beautiful boy was too weak. He was so attuned to her...when she left an abusive husband some years ago he let Ivan out to do what he would. Ivan hung around as if knowing Dee would come back for him when the place was empty, and she did. For the next several years he was her confidante, her buddy and constant comfort. She is so devastated now--who could blame her?-- that she's not answering calls. Please spare Ivan some purrs for his new life over the Bridge, and for Dee so she might heal and love again. Blessed be, Baha |

Purrs for Dee, I can imagine how hard it is for her to part with Ivan, after all they've been through. He helped her get through a very tough situation and come out the other side. I feel that way about Roxy and Smudge, who helped me through the sudden end of a 15-year relationship, and that's not nearly as traumatic as escaping an abusive husband! Ivan sounds like he was a very special and very smart kitty.

Purrs for Ivan's crossing
It may take awhile but Ivan will send her some comfort, in the form of
another cat, they always do. Meantime, Purrs and Prayers for her and her broken heart. "BfloPolska" wrote in message ...

Blessed be, Baha Ivan sounds like the kind of cat we would all love to have. I'm so sorry he's gone to the Bridge. Sending purrs that he meets all the nice RPCA RB kitties, including my two, and especially for poor Deanna's broken heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.
