Oh Karie I am so sorry. Jasper had the best family ever and this is such a lovely tribute to him. x

Oh my Karie - I am so, so sorry. I'm just about to post the same sort of sad news as we had to put Gain to sleep yesterday. It breaks our hearts to lose our fur babies, doesn't it?

I'm so sorry. He sounds so precious!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Shannon, I am so sorry to hear about Gain. It is so hard to loose our fur babies. The house just isn't the same today.

Oh my I am sorry for your loss of jazz but what a wonderful tribute that you wrote peace be with you.

Oooohhh, Karie. I am soooo sorry. This is devastating news, and I wish we could soothe your pain. Cosmo Edward is probably the only one that can. I am thinking of darling Jasper and sending you lots of love and strength. xo

Oh, Karie! I'm so sorry to hear this! Jasper had a good long run, but it's always to soon to lose our beloved pets, isn't it? Sending you love and hugs!!

So sorry for your loss, Karie.

So sorry Karie ... lots of love, and blessings to Jasper.

So sorry. I am so glad he found you to take care of him.

Thinking of you, Karie -- I know this must be so hard. It sounds like Jasper had a great life, was much loved. and will be much missed.

I'm so very sorry, Karie. It's never easy, but after 18 years Jasper must have been such a significant part of your lives and member of your family. His final gesture with Jodie is enough to being a tear to my eye. He was certainly one lucky kitty to have found your family. Does. How is Cosmo Edward adapting?

Jasper sounds like a kitty with lots of personality. I'm taken by his half mushtache. So handsome. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thinking of you at this sad time, Karie.

Karie, I am so sad for you. He looks like such a beautiful and graceful creature. Big hugs -- it's really hard when they go. xoxoxoxoxo

Karie, I'm so sorry for your loss. Glad Jasper was with you for 18 years.

I'm sorry Karie. He had a happy and beautiful life.

Sorry for your loss Karie but so glad he had such a nice and happy life with you!

Karie, I am so sorry about the loss of Jasper. I too had a beloved furbaby that was 18 and suffering kidney failure. The hardest thing to do was to put her to sleep, but she was suffering and I couldn't bear that. The memories of the happy, crazy, funny, and sometimes annoying things that they do will get you thru. Minnie was a seal point Siamese kitty (her brother's name was Mickey! who loved sausage pizza (she would start to howl as soon as she could smell the sausage cooking! and she was my constant companion. She has been gone for 10 years but I still think of her and miss her terribly. But she brought much joy to my life as I am sure Jasper did to yours and my memories are happy ones. Our furbabies are part of the family and there is nothing like the unconditional love they give us. Sounds like Jasper received much love and care in return!

So sorry for your loss, Karie. Jasper was a lovely cat and he was lucky you took such good care of him for 18 years!

Thank you all for the lovely comments. Pil, so far Cosmo Edward is doing fine. We've taken care of several animals when our friends and family go on vacations, so he might be thinking Jasper is coming back. He did seem to be looking for him yesterday in Jasper's room (yes, Jasper had his own room!).

Oh, I'm so sorry. What a sweetie kitty! So sad.

Oh, Karie, I'm so sorry to hear about Jasper. It is sooo hard to lose a furbaby of any age, but I can't even imagine the void that's left after 18 years. I'm crying in sympathy. He was such a beautiful kitty, and it sounds like he had quite the personality. You're in my thoughts. xoxoxo

Karie, I am so sorry for your loss. I got all teary eyed reading about your sweet Jasper.

@cheryl, me too!
I'm so sorry about Jasper. You were so kind to give him a loving home.

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful cat. I am so sorry for your loss, Karie!

I am so sorry Karie. Jasper was just beautiful and the personality just pops off the pictures.

Oh, Karie, I'm so sorry to hear the news about Jasper. Your post touched me greatly and I can tell "Jazz" was dearly loved, from the very beginning. It's never easy to say goodbye as our precious ones cross over Rainbow Bridge. Hugging you in your grief. XO

I am so sorry...I hope your memories bring you some peace. They will be with you always.
