Christofur, the Cat of the Day
Name: Christofur
Age: Deceased, Six years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Tabby
Home: Sunrise, Florida, USA
 
   Christofur was a wonderful cat who never complained and was always happy and good natured. Christofur was independent but affectionate in his own way. He loved to rub up against you or lay down at your feet. He was very sweet and playful too.

    Christofur had been diagnosed with diabetes and had to live on insulin. My husband faithfully tested his urine daily and gave Chris his shots. Christofur never flinched either. He even knew when it was time for his insulin and jumped on the table waiting for my husband to give him his injection. Chris was kept alive like this for about a year and a half. We thought he was doing great. Then one day he just wasn't feeling right. I asked my husband to take him to the vet. I said goodbye to Chris and left for work. My husband took him to the vet to be checked out. Chris waited until he was out of his carrier and succumbed on the vet's table. He knew it was his time but waited until he got to say goodbye in his dignified manner. This happened last April, 1998. We still always think about Chris and are very proud to have been owned by him. We always will remember Chris and the good times we had with him.
