Our cat, Jack, passed away on Sunday. We have been kinda in the dumps about it around our home the last few days. So, I thought I would post a slide show of some of the photos we have of Jack as a nice reminder of the blessing of his companionship to our family. I rescued him from the SPCA (where I worked) almost 7 years ago. He lived through us fostering many different kitten litters, fostering a few puppies, 3 different moves, 2 babies, & a kitty that adopted us about a year ago, Tiger (he is our outdoor kitty, while Jack was indoor only). Jack showed us love & loyalty, with just some minor annoyance or a look of "Ok, I will put up with you." But, as my sis-in-law reminded me, he had special qualities that you do not normally see in a cat (he was so wonderful with everyone, kids, adults, & even other animals, he knew his name & would come when called & would jump up on you for attention), so, we thought of him more as a dog-cat. So, heres to you Jack...thanks for all the fond memories. We will miss your fuzzy, purring warmth.
