Farewell, Nickodemus


Things are really sad over at Thoughts Fur Paws. Nickodemus was helped to the Rainbow Bridge after a very hard decision at the emergency vet's on August 22. He was nineteen years old and in failing health, mostly kidney problems. Jamie is really sad because Nickodemus had been with him for over half his life. Jamie's Mom is also really sad, because Nickodemus was her best friend for years. Nickodemus was rescued from the woods when he was seven weeks old. He had never even seen a human before. He became an inside cat and it took him months to get used to it. Once he did, though, he loved it. He loved to snuggle into warm spots. His very favorite food was fish. He loved to be loved and now he is being missed terribly.

                                                Nickodemus had a great life.
                                                He lived inside, away from strife.
                                                      He got lots of scritches
                                                      To soothe his itches.
                                                He went to the Bridge to start a new life.
