Mangus passed away. 1984 or 1985 - 7-15-2008
The end of this June he started getting very weak and wobbly. He was diagnosed with kidney failure although his bloodwork wasn't that bad. The past two weeks I had to assist feed him four times a day and give him subcue fluids for dehydration several times. I woke up Tuesday morning and he was under the end table next to the couch. I pick him up and he started twitching. His little body was shutting down. Within a minutes time he passed away in my arms. I don't think he died as a result of kidney disease. I think he died of old age. His little body was just tired. I'm so thankful I was with him when he crossed and he wasn't sick very long at all. God blessed me so much for letting me take care of him for over 18 years. We had a bond like I've never had with any of my babies (I love them all dearly). But He said it was time for him to go home so all I could do was say goodbye. I miss him terribly and my home seems so empty without him but the hurt is worth it when I think of all the happiness he has given me over the years. If I posted the photo correctly you'll see where he loved to lay and watch me cook. He love the kitchen anyway, he loved to eat. That is where I have his cremains in a lovely little urn. Sorry this was so long but I could have gone on and on.  |

what a life 18 years...... you gave him so many happy years,and he you, I know its hard, Stay strong x |
| Awww, what a cutie he was!
I'm so sorry for your loss. You had him about 13 years? No wait... you had him 18 years and he was about 5 then! 
Wow! What a great long time to have such a good companion. It must be so very hard after so long. Thank you for saving him and for sharing him with us. |
| Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your beloved family member. He is a beautiful kitty and it sounds as if you gave him a wonderful home life. We lost out beloved 23# kitty named Puddy in April of this year at 8yrs old due to Lymphoma resulting in kidney and liver failure. He was diagnosed in October and given a month - he made it almost 6 months longer then we were told he would. It was so hard on all of us -especially our girls. They truely become family and not just pets.

| What a wonderful tribute to your sweet Mangus. It sounds like he had a fabulous second life, thanks to you. |
| You posted such a wonderful story about Magnus. I am so very sorry for your loss. He lived a great life to a good age. I lost my Luaka (OES) 1 month and a day ago. I am certain her (something) spirit??? is within her best buddy Blaize (my cat). His behaviour is different. He was born in my house to a very (extremely) thin stray (Twiggy). She had 5 boys. All survived. But Blaize and Luaka bonded like no other. Now he comes to me in the a.m. (dawn) and puts his paw out on my face very gently, to wake me. If I don't wake up, he tries again, and then meows. IF that fails, then he looks at me and sighs, and sighs and sighs. Then the paw comes to my face again, and again. He never did this when Luaka
was here. I really believe Luaka is trying to say she's ok. At peace. So - with the years you spent with Magnus, just wait a while - he will come through. The pain does get less. |
| what a beautiful tribute to your beloved companion. I do think that he waited for you to say goodbye to. You are an angel and will meet him again in your life.

| I am very sorry for your loss.
Sounds like it was Mangus' time to go. He lived a wonderfully long life and he was very loved. Glad you were there with him when he passed.  |
| That is a super story. He was a very lucky pussy to find such a loving Mum to look after him. He had such a long and happy life. thank you from Mangus. Try not to be too sad his story could have been so so much worse. hugs to you xx
ps glad you were with him when he crossed over the Bridge. |
| I am so sorry Ashley...
what a cutie. He was very fortunatew to be with you for all the years! |
| Thank you so much for sharing the story of Magnus with us. He sure was a beautiful cat and I can see why he beat out all the other alley cats for the title. I am so sorry that he has passed on. What a great loss he is in your life. I pray you have strength while you grieve for the loss of this special boy.
Tears, |
| Oh What a beautiful cat... or should I call him Handsome....
I am sorry for your loss. Take great pride in the fact you gave him such a wonderful life after his difficult start. You know he loved you for it just as much as you loved him. |
| All pets are part of our family. We mourn the loss of all, because they each make our family whole. I'm so sorry Mangus has left a hole in your family. It,s a tribute to him that he was so loved. |
| Oh Ashley, I am so so sorry for the pain you are going through now, I know how much it hurts. You are such a good mom for saving and taking care of such a beautiful kitty. Your story made me cry. I know that he is playing wih Hershey (we had a kitty for a short time). Hershey in some ways was very Cat like. It will get better for you in time. PM if ever need anything |
| My sincerest condolensces. He was beautiful. |
