Midnight died!

It was probably 7+ years ago when Midnight first came into our household. He was a motherless fragile little kitten. I could still recall that day, it was raining heavily with lightning and thunderstorm, and my friend had him in a cat carrier so he would not run wild in the car. Now, as you can see, Midnight is a huge, almost a 40 pounder cat.

Sadly, probably around May or early June 08 we have to give him away to a friend who lives in a farm. We thought he would have a better life there compared to be cooped up in the garage all day, though sometimes he would come into the house during the cold winter or hot summer days. Our friend was happy to have him because he will have a bigger place to roam around, and probably catch some mice in their barn. The main reason why we had to give him away was my son's allergy and also mine. We have been putting the idea off many many times, but because of my son's health issue, we have to do something about it. Since this guy works with my husband, we were able to get updated information on how Midnight was doing and it was a relieve for us knowing that Midnight is in good hand.

Unfortunately, when we got back from vacation, and my husband goes back to work on July 19, we heard Midnight had died. I was extremely upset and sad all at once, though we decided not to tell our son of Midnight's sudden death. I love that cat and didn't want him to die, but it's just beyond our control.

My husband was told that Midnight had been to the Vet a couple of weeks ago because of an open wound to his head, probably because of a fight with another cat or a dog. He was resting and doing ok, but after a week, he was just not eating, and lost a lot of weight and he just suddenly died.

All day, I was thinking, if we didn't give him away he could have had a longer life! In reality, we didn't know that was going to happen, and we pray that he will have a better life in CAT HEAVEN.

Here's a couple of pictures showing Midnight who is not camera shy at all!
