Perry
July 4, 2001- October 5, 2010
Perry took a turn for the very worse during the night--
I wondered if he would make it to the vet this morn-
I dropped him off at 7am, like I said I would.
By 2:45 Perry was gone. They gave Perry fluids, antibiotics and nothing..
They were going to unhook him and bring him to me--
Perry passed just before they could. I think he didn't want me to
See him like that. Yet, Perry waited until I came to get him to finally rest.
The vet said jaundice showed up today. The infection just took over
Perry's body, eventho his heart was strong, yet not strong enough.
The vet even said Perry was a fighter.
Yes, he was.
When I saw him, Perry looked like he was sleeping..
I told the vet, Perry will rest by a flowering tree---
Where he can get a first hand view of feating birds .
THANK YOU everyone for being there--
Your words of support and prayers mean more than you know...
I thank God for letting Perry find me that October 2001 day
When He knew I was sad because I just buried my dad
I always considered Perry the last present my dad gave me--
And a present he will always be. He was My One.
I am blessed.
Tommy

***It's Wednesday Morning as I write this. We made it thru the first night without Perry. It's funny, Noir has taken his roll of Heir Apparent quite literal. He is a younger Perry in a lot of ways--of not leaving my side and glued to my hip during the night. He just looks more grown up. Edie (aka Mommy) just rubbed against me and even MaxMaxx tried to be a baby kitten with his wide load self. Earl Gray meowed and tried to get in my lap. They all loved on me. Looking at Peyton, who's a ginger tabby is hardest--he reminds me of Perry and I almost called him that when he came into a room. He was the only one who really bonded with Perry--and when I looked into his soft eyes, I saw the sorrow. We made it through.
Words cannot express how all of have made me feel. And to think I thought the internet was fad. With it, I would not have all of you. Thank you again--so much!

I am so so sorry to learn this, I had just read about him in the CB and had come to tell him that he would have strong loud purrs.

Tommy, I've followed the doings of Noir, Earl Gray, Momma, Perry, and all, for quite a while. Noir writes beautifully and I so look forward to hearing about you and your kitty family. I'm so so sorry that Perry has moved on and will now be an angel observer rather than an active participant. He was a lovely gingery personality. I and my kitties (Tucker, Max and Moushe) will keep you all in our thoughts.

Sending snuggles and purrs to help you. The loss of one of our furry kids is always difficult and only time can help that pain become bearable.
So, from Taz, Runt, Charles and mommy, Anna, in Illinois, snuggles and happy memories until you are reunited.
The mom's eyes got leaky so it made it hard fer her to read to us. Mom says its always hard when us furry ones move on, we like to think we stay just not in our body.
Purrs to you and headbutts too!

So sorry to hear of your loss - we lost our Newton last year and I know how it hurts. xx
Glad you're hanging in together. The cats are grieving too and you all need each other.
After Crystal passed we had some changes here too. And Cameron suddenly became a comfort. He still runs to sleep with me at night, something he never did before.
Purrs and tail wags.
Hi Tommy, I was sorry to hear of your loss. I came over from Old Kitty's. Losing an old friend is heartbreaking. Thirty years ago my first cat, Banana, left the same way that Perry did. It was difficult because I wanted that last hug, and to hold him as he crossed over. And a friend of mine offered the same assurance - he wanted me to remember him in life.
I'm so sorry that Perry had to go to the bridge. I'm sending comforting purrs to you.
Oh, dear, this is very sad news indeed. We are all so very sorry to learn of your loss. Perry was a beautiful kitty, and he will be missed.
He will rest under that beautiful tree you pictured for him, and will have many friends to greet him across the Rainbow Bridge.
Purrrsa and headbonks
I am so very sorry about Perry. I know just how comforting a cat can be after losing a parent, as Herman came into my life just two months after my Mom passed away. Herman sends soft purrs and I send hugs.
I am just now discovering you. ANd I know my comment is only one of a hundred. But I remember the sheer numbers that came in when Winnie died made me feel so much better. So let me just add that I'm keeping you in my heart and in my thoughts as you go through this tough time.
Chrystal from daily dose
We read your comment on the CB. Take whatever time off you need. We'll all be here when you get back.
Purrs, tail wags & hugs.
I have been away for a few days and I was just catching up on the news on the CB when I saw the news about Perry. I am so sorry to hear that Perry had to run off to the Rainbow Bridge. I will keep you in my purrs and purrayers.
{hugs}

Tommy, we are sorry for the loss. It is good that Noir is there at your side. And it is a comfort for you to have all the rest of your sweet fur family there to love you.
Came after the write up at The Kool Kitty Krew to offer our condolences on the passing of Perry. I know you will cry a lot and your hearts will break but later, maybe when time has passed, you can look back with love at a truly wonderful boy called Perry.
Love and respects from Dash Kitten and Marjorie
We are sorry about your sweet orange one.
My family continues to Thank ALL OF YOU for your kindness, your words and prayers. It's still hard. Tommy looks for Perry. He left us a week ago today.
Thank you all.
Noir
Soft husky wooooos,
