The Last Day

Before my Dad took Momma to be put down, I had to get some last moments with him. When I left for work that morning (April 5th) He was laying here on the back of the recliner in the family room downstairs. I found him here around 6:45am. I got home from work just before 2:00pm, and here he still was. Just looking at these pictures, now reminds we why made the choice we did. He was so sick.
I took this while waiting for my dad to come. He arrived about 15 minutes later. I was saying my last goodbyes, sharing stories and shedding tears. Momma really was an awesome cat. Our kitchen counter is so bare without him there on it.


And this I took just before I walked him out to dad's car. :-( He's laying on a burp cloth, because he was so ill, he couldn't control his bowels any more, and was a mess. And he had a very green runny nose as well, so I had to keep up with it.
We found out this past weekend, From my dad, who was told by the SPCA that it was indeed Cancer.
I am happy that Momma is no longer suffering, and is in heaven. He's gained back his weight, and I am SURE he's hanging out on a kitchen counter up there somewhere.

Heaven

We've been talking alot about Heaven lately since Momma died, and I always tell the kids mommy's friends are up there watching us too. So Colin asked if animals go to Heaven too. I said sure they do, so we'll all see each other again someday. Here was his response:

"So Mommy ~ Animals have one heaven, and there is a bridge, that connects to our heaven, so anytime we want to see our animals, all we have to do is walk over that bridge"

He really misses momma. He's been talking about Symba & Kali alot lately too. I am surprised he even remembered them honestly, he was so young!

Here's another comment he made in regards to Momma's passing.

"Dad, I wish I would have been here to watch the Angels come and take Momma to Heaven"

*sigh* the innocence of a child.

Oh Momma Kitty

Remember THIS post that I posted about how Momma likes to sit on all things tiny on the kitchen counter?? Well, of course I had to take a picture when I saw him (yes, Momma is a BOY) sitting on top of Caden's Lunch Box a few evenings ago. How perfect is this one? Today, as I was leaving for work, Caden's lunch box was open, and guess where Momma was? Yep, sitting INSIDE of it.

Animals need attention too.

It's not often that I do any posts on the animals, so I thought I would share the love with the furry Beyer's. Lately, we've found the cats in some way odd positions/spots. Since they are, after all, like our "other" children, the first thing we do is run and grab the camera! 

Here's Mya sporting her cozy, warm, hooded sweater. And Yes, she is a girl, but the girly sweaters, were really girly, with bling and all, and I wasn't for all of that. Personally, I like the cute puff ball on top of her head anyway :-) It keeps her warm anyway when we take her for walks on cool nights. And she sits right down  for you so you can put it on her!

Here we have Oreo & Bobbers. If you can't find Bob anywhere in the house, look for Oreo, he's never far behind. They are the best of pals.


And Momma - Oh Momma. this cat LOVES the kitchen counter. It's so weird. He sleeps on top of anything he can find. If you have a paper towel folded in half, he'll get RIGHT on top of it and lay down. Caden's lunch box? He'll sit on it and fall asleep. It's so odd. This day, he found a tiny spot between the wall, and the clean dishes drying on the counter. Plopped himself there and was curled into this tiny ball, out like a light for a good hour or more.


And then there's Mason... Good Old Mason. I am not sure if he thinks he's a dog, or what, but he's not any ordinary cat, that's for sure.  here he is, sitting at the dinner table with us. He loves to eat your leftovers. Only he isn't usually this patient. If you turn your head, He'll come right up and grab your food and RUN. It's Funny and annoying all at the same time. When Colin is eating, he'll be surrounded by Mason & Mya, since they know he won't fight them back like we do. It's terrible. Mason is ALWAYS sneaking a piece of sausage from his plate. And Mya waits patiently until Colin is done, then will take what he didn't finish. This day, Mason got tired of us putting him on the floor and telling him no, So he took up residence in the booster seat, and waited.... It was funny though, because he kept falling asleep sitting up. He'd close his eyes and start swaying. Then he'd open them again really quick, not wanting to miss any tiny scrap of leftovers.


Gotta love the animals. They all have some of the best personality's and the kids love them. Mason sleeps with Caden every night. During the day, Oreo and Bobbers sleep in Caden's bed. Blackberry spends her days and nights in Courtney's room. And Momma... just look for the papers on the floor or counter, he'll be sleeping there for sure!
