thanks for your condolences folks.
Here's mike's xray. Note the large white mass - squishing his intestine's, lungs, etc. He was a big cat - so nothing seemed wrong externally.

I had the whole family there to say 'goodbye'. I'm thankful we all got a few last precious minutes with him. If you guys didn't know him, and most of you didn't, he really WAS a special cat. He'd do things I've never seen cats do. He'd HUG people.

Thanks Yurt. He was indeed. At nearly 35, I suppose I've been blessed to have never before lost anything (via death) so close to me.
The 11 years of GOOD he brought to us outweigh the sadness we now feel. Hands down. At least he's free from suffering. At very least. It's a shame the animal world lost such a fantastic "personality".

my most heartfelt condolences.... we lost our 20 year old maine coon cat last summer. I was devastated and so was my wife. We have four others and they are all 8 or older so I have more of it coming. Cats are really marvelous creatures.

Sorry to hear the news Darrin...... you have the memories and you are lucky enough to have shot some really nice photographs of him so his memory will stay alive. I have gone through many of these types of loses, it never gets easy but I will never let it keep me from getting more furry buddies...... the hurt subsides but the good memories last the rest of your life. Hang in there.:-/
