Oh Mark... I just her the news.. I'm so very sorry to hear about Ivan. I know how you feel. I lost my Gizmo in June and Dixie passed away in November. I am still so heartbroken. I know you loved them so. Take care my friend.

scrappy says:
I am in tears as well. I'm so sorry about dear Ivan and I know your decision was heartbreaking but the best thing you could do for your boy, Mark. This never gets anywhere close to being easy, but just know that most of us have been through this, and though some handle it better than others, all you can do is grieve the way you need to. I will miss his handsome face in your group pictures...

I will really miss him so much on Picato. RIP sweetie and say hello to my Willy and my first kitty Charlie, both of whom will welcome you on Rainbow Bridge. I'm in tears right now...

Oh Mark -- This is devastating news for you I know. Brave, brave Ivan -- he was trying so hard to hang on for you and his furpals, I just know it. I so feel your pain. Tears for you and for Ivan. My sincere, heartfelt condolences dear friend. Run free sweet Ivan in the warmth of the Rainbow Bridge with your many friends who I know have greeted you with open paws and will shelter you forever and forever. You will not be forgotten sweet baby.

It saddens me to reports that I had to let my dear Ivan go during surgery today. He was stabilizing on weight loss, and had a good appetite, but the doctor wanted to take another ultrasound because she couldn't see behind his stomach the last time, which was full. Today was just supposed to be a routine follow-up, but I knew something was wrong because he was only holding weight, not gaining. She found a mass during the ultrasound and I elected for surgery. While they had him open, they found that he had an intestinal tumor, just as Robocat had, but it had spread to his liver. I almost allowed them to close him up and bring him home, but like Robocat, I couldn't allow my baby to go down hill, and let him go gently while asleep on the table. Ivan was adopted out at 8 weeks old, and the family brought him back to me at 2 years old when he wasn't "cute" anymore, amazingly giving me a chance to take him back before they brought him to a shelter. Out of the 4 brothers that were adopted out, he will always be my miracle kitten that came back to me. Out of that family of 7 (8 counting the feral father), only Floppy is left. Good-by sweet Ivan, until we're together again....
