    He looks a bit consternated … I wonder whether he’ll grow up to be a hockey player like his namesake. Love that left ear!

    Moose looks more like a moose-ette. Look at that sweet little face? He’s not a moose, he’s a wee baby boy that I’m pretty sure needs some cuddling and I’ll be right over…

    What a sweet country kitten. He looks like he’ll find a nice quilt to lay on or in the winter, a warm place by the fire.

    I was sharing keyboard space with my chocolate tortie, Coco, when Moose’s picture came up. She turned her head and stared at it for a few seconds and then reached up and patted the screen. Seems she may recognize a kindred spirit.

    Little Moose looks like he’s been caught in the headlights. Gray tabbies are gorgeous. I love his little gray nose!

    Hi folks,

    I’m Moose’s foster mom. I’m sad to report that we lost Moose almost two weeks ago. He was very small and despite my best efforts, he got sick and died. I’m so crushed and devastated. His siblings are doing very well and will grow up to be great cats. I appreciate all the comments for Moose. He was wonderful and I will love him for ever. If you would like to see the progress of his siblings, their pictures are on Flickr.

    I am so sorry. I know there are no words
    to take away your pain. You did the best
    you could for him and now he is in heaven
    where he is safe and warm and playing with
    my Oscar who passed in 2006 at the age of
    17 years, 5 months.

    I am so sorry about the little guy. I know for sure he’s on that quilt by the fire in a cabin in the sky. Bless you for giving him all your nurturing.

    oh my, that is absolutely heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss. Poor little Moose!

    Thank you so much. Yes, having his siblings around has helped. I’ve had to take care of them and my own pets as well. Having all the other fur kids around has helped me heal a great deal. I also feel that Moose got the best chance he could and I don’t regret taking him in. For a short time, he had love and compassion and he deserved every bit of it.

    I know the hurt–I’ve taken care of feral litters and we always lose at least one–the last group started with 8 now there are 6. You do the best you can but sometimes they are born with defects we can’t do anything about. {{{HUGS}}}
