Arrival Story:
We thought it was time to get Mercy a playmate and decided to go to the local Humane Society to look at kittens. They were all so adorable but my husband took a special liking to the tiny, two-pound, whining, and sickly looking kitten named "Henry" who was alone in his cage because his mama and siblings had already been adopted. This poor little baby had also been neutered the day before and had an URI but we wanted to adopt him anyway, so we brought him home, renamed him, and set him up in one of the guest bedrooms to recover. Milo's nose was so runny he was making bubbles when he breathed, but he was otherwise calm and affectionate. We gave him alot of TLC, brought him to see our longtime vet and after he became healthy, he met Mercy. Even at two pounds, he decided right away that this big girl was good for tackling and was usually hanging onto her neck. The two of them became very close.

Bio:
Milo was very loving and affectionate with the entire family, including the dogs. The night when our dog Butch passed away at home, Milo was right by his side. When we carried him, he insisted on turning his body so that he could look us square in the eye and lick our faces. His nurturing nature was very important as our kitty family grew, especially for shy little Sofie. Whenever I would open up a can of unsalted green beans for the dogs he would jump up on the kitchen counter because he liked to drink the juice. Milo was always a sweetheart and never once hissed at anything or anybody. He had surgery to remove a bladder stone in late 2006, and in mid-2007, he was diagnosed with Immune-mediated Polyarthritis. UPDATE: Milo passed away suddenly at home at the age of 4 on Thursday, November 1st, 2007, surrounded by the family that he loved and that loved him so much.

Ear Floofiness!

EDGAR just notified me that I'm one of his five semi-finalists for having the Best Ear Floof!

Thanks for the pink rosette, Edgar. What a tough job you have! And thank you to Hazel Lucy for the congratulatory watermelon.

Additional thanks to the anonymous friend(s) who left me a new set of wings, and to all my friends who stop by occasionally to visit with me.

Love,
Milo


April 1st Birthday Angels!

I'm a low-key kind of angel. I guess you can tell as I haven't written a diary entry since October, 2007!

Today I celebrated an angelic birthday with angels WALLY and MAGGIE MOO, and on such a foolish day!

Thanks for celebrating with me and for your continued friendship to me and my family as well.

Gone from our sight,
but never our memories,
Gone from our touch,
but never our hearts.


Love,
Milo


Your Continued Love and Support

Thank you for your continued love and support to our entire family. We are reading all of your messages even if we are not emotionally able to respond to them personally.

I have asked two very special friends that I met on Catster to help Milo get his wings, so today I need to spend some time selecting some photos for them. They were specifically asked not only for their talents but they, along with many others, loved Milo for the kitty he was, and so his photos will be made with much love behind them.

As I type this, little Sofie is in our bedroom sleeping alone in the bed that Milo slept in most of the time. My husband said, and I agree, that of all the kitties, she will probably miss Milo the most.

Love,
Janet
